PREFACE 


Gentlemen  of  1904: 


It  is  with  no  little  hesitation  that  I  attempt  to  write  what 
has  here  been  called  a  "preface,"  because  an  introduction 
seems  to  me  somewhat  out  of  place  in  a  book,  the  purpose  and 
character  of  which  are  already  known  to  all  of  you  and  the 
contents  of  which  are  substantially  your  work — my  duty 
having  been  but  to  record  and  arrange  such  data  as  you  have 
sent  to  me.  I  will,  however,  appreciate  your  attention  to  a 
few  general  words  about  the  work  of  the  Class  Secretary 
before  you  pass  on  to  a  record  of  achievements  by  members 
of  our  Class,  which  I  sincerely  trust  will  prove  as  interesting 
and  inspiring  to  you  as  they  have  to  me.  You  will  remember 
that  I  was  elected  to  the  office  of  Class  Secretary  nearly  three 
years  ago,  and  I  must  confess  that  at  that  time  I  accepted 
the  position  with  considerable  feeling  of  doubt  as  to  the 
pleasantness  of  the  duties  which  it  demanded,  and  I  remained 
in  that  state  of  mind  until  many  letters  of  encouragement 
and  support  received  in  reply  to  my  first  appeal  for  infor- 
mation removed  any  such  feeling  on  my  part  and  have  more 
than  repaid  me  in  many  ways  for  any  time  and  thought  that 
I  have  given  in  preparing  this  Record.  It  is  true  that  a  few 
men  have  never  responded  to  any  letters  sent  to  them. 
Several  others  of  the  Class  delayed  their  replies  until  they 
had  been  appealed  to  three  and  four  times.  If  I  have  any 
criticisms  to  make  it  is  of  those  men  on  whose  account  the 
work  has  at  times  dragged  and  been  made  somewhat  dis- 
couraging. Of  course,  it  is  but  thoughtlessness,  but  I  will 
feel  that  I  have  done  much  if  those  who  have  been  delinquent 
in  the  past  will  from  now  on  realize  that  the  work  of  the 
Secretary  is  not  one  of  short  hours ;  that  his  success,  whoever 
he  may  be,  is  measured  by  the  completeness  of  his  Records,

for  which  he  is  dependent  upon  the  assistance  of  each  indi- 
vidual member  of  the  Class ;  and  that  his  is  a  work  of  co- 
operation in  the  strictest  sense  of  that  word,  without  which 
but  little  can  be  accomplished. 

It  is,  perhaps,  proper  for  me  to  state  at  this  time  that  the 
biographies  herein  recorded  are  intended  to  be  complete  up 
to  January  1,  1911,  and  some  few  facts  affecting  members 
of  the  Class  which  have  occurred  since  that  date  will  be  found 
in  the  latter  part  of  the  book  under  the  head  "addenda." 
The  photo-engraving  of  Dean  Wright,  which  forms  the 
frontispiece,  and  a  number  of  the  other  illustrations  used 
throughout  this  volume  are  reproduced  through  the  courtesy 
of  the  Yale  Alumni  Weekly. 

I  sincerely  thank  those  men  who  have  so  generously  con- 
tributed articles  which  I  know  will  be  enjoyed  and  appre- 
ciated, and  I  further  welcome  this  opportunity  to  express  my 
thanks  and  recognize  my  debt  of  gratitude  to  the  Class 
Secretaries  Bureau,  whose  director,  Edwin  Rogers  Embree, 
of  the  Class  of  1906,  by  his  untiring  energy  and  willingness 
to  assist,  has  made  many  things  possible. 

Respectfully  yours, 

G.  ELTON  PARKS.

REUNIONS 

BY  LAWRENCE  MASON 

"Well-a  here  we  are !  Well-a  here  we  are !"  Such  is  the 
glad  chorus  at  reunion  time,  whether  ij;  be  spoken  in  song 
and  jovial  greeting,  or  remain  unspoken  in  the  deeper  satis- 
fying contentment  with  which  we  recognize  "the  old  familiar 
faces"  and  blithely  give  ourselves  up  to  the  solid  enjoyment 
of  old  friends,  old  wine,  old  memories,  and  high  old  times. 
"No  sleep  till  morn,  when  Youth  and  Pleasure  meet!"  And 
certainly  in  these  class  meetings  we  renew  our  youth  in  a 
blaze  of  glory,  like  unto  the  festive  phoenix  of  yore,  and 
furthermore  recruit  our  energies  by  contact  with  our  Alma 
Mater,  even  as  the  mythical  giant,  Antaeus,  felt  his  powers 
redoubled  whenever  he  touched  his  parent,  Mother  Earth. 
In  short,  we  may  say,  "In  reunion  there  is  strength";  for, 
up  to  date,  that  spirit  has  been  "the  secret  of  our  success" 
as  a  Class,  whether  at  Class  dinners  in  New  York  and  else- 
where, at  Alumni  smokers  and  banquets  all  over  the  country, 
at  informal  gatherings  all  over  the  world,  or  at  any  old 
"-ennial"  in  little  old  New  Haven.  Whenever  the  time  comes 
round  for  one  of  our  various  reunions,  you  can  usually  over- 
hear a  soliloquy  like  this : 

"If  'money  talks,'  I  must  be  a  deaf  mute,  because  I  haven't 
enough  coin  to  match  anyone  for  a  soda.  (Or,  to  employ  the 
learned  tongues,  'In  rhino  raritas.')  And  yet  I'm  going 
down  to  that  reunion  if  I  have  to  deprive  myself  of  my  wife's 
new  hat.  A  1904  reunion  is  not  an  expensive  luxury — it's  an 
expensive  necessity !"  In  regard  to  such  Class  spirit  we  will 
only  inquire,  without  further  comment:  "When  can  its 
glory  fade  ?"  As  a  fitting  rej  oinder  to  that  notable  inquiry, 
it  is  not  too  much  to  quote  the  words  of  an  eminent  member 
of  our  Class  in  his  editorial  days  upon  the  Yale  Daily  News: 


8  THE  CLASS 

"We  feel  almost  certain  that  its  praises  will  ring  round  the 
world,  from  ancient  Athens  to  Honolulu  the  paradise !" 

In  glancing  back  over  the  record  scroll  of  time,  from 
living  now  to  yesteryear,  it  is  hard  to  pick  and  choose  among 
the  numerous  classic  occasions  with  which  1904  has  enriched 
— nay,  crowned — the  pages  of  history.  At  our  New  York 
dinners,  the  speakers  of  the  evening,  in  spite  of  all  their 
special  preparation,  have  hardly  excelled  the  inspired  im- 
promptus of  many  unsuspected  orators  whom  the  exaltation 
of  the  moment  suddenly  turned  golden-mouthed ;  thus  we  see 
that  even  in  the  matter  of  postprandial  remarks,  the  Class 
has  never  stood  for  oligophemism  but  always  for  polyology 
or  pluriloquence.  Freedom  of  speech  is  the  shibboleth  of 
democracy. 

Coming  down  to  our  Triennial,  we  beg  to  ask  what  memory 
could  be  more  fragrant  than  that  of  the  Jockey  Club  ?  What 
Olympian  ever  inhaled  choicer  incense  than  the  spirit  of  that 
jocular  offering  upon  the  altar  of  Liberte,  Egalite,  Fra- 
ternite?  And  then  think  of  that  never-to-be-forgotten  coup 
d 'eclat  wherein  our  fireworks,  instead  of  being  trivially  and 
conventionally  set  off  one  by  one,  piecemeal,  ascended  in  one 
panpyromaniacal  blaze  of  glory — even  as  this  volume  bursts 
upon  a  startled  world  full-panoplied,  like  Minerva  from  the 
head  of  Jupiter. 

As  for  our  Sailor  Sexennial,  that  epoch-making  event  is 
still  of  too  great  rumor  in  the  world  to  need  the  trumpeting 
of  any  "trivial  fond  record."  Even  as  the  sailors  of  our 
battleship  fleet  took  by  storm  the  hearts  and  homes  of  all  the 
ports  at  which  they  stopped,  in  their  cruise  round  the  world, 
even  so  did  our  jolly  tars  carry  all  before  them  in  the  jam- 
boree last  June.  Our  slogan  was  that  familiar  and  inspiring 
anthem,  "Yo  heave  ho,  and  a  barrel  of  rum !" 

So  much  for  the  lighter  and  more  superficial  aspect  of  our 
existence  as  a  Class,  since  graduation — aside  from  the  more

detailed  accounts  which  follow  this  article.  But  there  is  a 
graver  and  higher  aspect  of  the  matter  which  is  less  frequent- 
ly stated. 

As  we  steadily  mature  and  approach  middle  age,  the 
merely  frivolous  side  of  reunions  becomes  less  and  less  satis- 
fying. We  vaguely  reach  out  after  something  beyond  this, 
and  feel  with  strong  distaste  that  the  crude  actualities  of 
the  present  fall  far  short  of  the  ideal  charms  with  which 
memory  has  invested  the  past;  and  so  we  sometimes  tend  to 
stay  away  from  Class  gatherings,  making  various  plausible 
excuses  to  ourselves  but,  in  reality,  more  or  less  consciously 
preferring  the  shadow  to  the  substance.  And  yet,  surely  a 
reunion  should  only  be  the  "outward  and  visible  sign  of  an 
inward  and  spiritual"  condition.  While  a  man  outwardly 
conforms  with  the  possibly  cheap  or  perfunctory  spirit  of 
the  hour,  philosophically  making  the  best  of  the  imperfec- 
tions which  must  mar  all  human  intercourse,  there  is  abso- 
lutely nothing  to  prevent  him  from  inwardly  selecting  and 
gilding  the  few  worthy  elements  which  will  best  blend  with  or 
lastingly  add  to  his  cherished  inner  vision.  And  in  any 
case,  it  ill  becomes  any  of  us  so  to  set  himself  above  his 
fellows,  or  so  to  lose  the  saving  "one  touch  of  nature,"  as  to 
decline  to  avail  himself  of  these  three  certain  benefits  (to 
name  no  more  than  three)  which  reunions  afford:  first,  the 
indubitable  value  of  getting  out  of  the  atmosphere  of  one's 
daily  business  or  professional  routine  by  good-naturedly 
(even  charitably,  if  necessary)  relaxing  in  company  with 
the  men  with  whom  one  underwent  the  experiences  of  the 
four  years  which,  whether  one  admits  it  or  not,  color  one's 
whole  life ;  secondly,  the  no  less  unquestionable  value  of  meet- 
ing, even  if  only  for  a  brief  time,  ordinarily  distant  friends 
who  have  meant  and  could  mean  much  in  the  cheering  or 
bettering  of  one's  inner  life,  thus  renewing  the  fading  inspira- 
tion to  strive  to  be  one's  better  self ;  and,  finally,  the  equally 


10  THE  CLASS 

incontestable  value  of  marking  one's  membership  in  a  great 
association  or  organization  and  thus  fostering  the  growth 
of  that  precious  principle — Loyalty  (perhaps  our  chief 
advantage  over  men  who  have  not  gone  to  college)  :  Loyalty 
as  an  antidote  for  the  too-engrossing  vices  of  worldliness  and 
selfishness:  Loyalty  to  higher  things  and  nobler  aims  than 
sordid,  egocentric  interests:  Loyalty  to  a  cause  that  richly 
deserves,  and  more  than  richly  repays,  every  atom  of  service 
and  of  devotion  that  we  can  possibly  bring  to  it — Loyalty  to 
Yale. 

So,  in  pleading  for  the  adoption  of  the  right  attitude 
toward  reunions,  for  the  recognition  of  their  power  to 
strengthen  some  of  the  better  elements  in  our  lives,  let  me 
conclude  by  quoting,  with  a  few  slight  adaptations,  the  in- 
comparable psean  of  all  high  fellowship : 

"  Old  men  forget:  yet  all  shall  be  forgot, 
But  they'll  remember  with  advantages 
What  feats  they  did  that  day.     Then  shall  our  names, 
Familiar  in  their  mouths  as  household  words, 
Be  in  their  flowing  cups  freshly  remembered. 
This  story  shall  the  good  men  teach  their  sons; 
And  not  a  holiday  shall  e'er  go  by, 
From  this  day  to  the  ending  of  the  world, 
But  we  in  it  shall  be  remembered : 
We  few,  we  happy  few,  we  band  of  brothers."

VICENNIAL  FENCE  BY  CONNECTICUT  HALL

Of 


TRIENNIAL 

The  Class  of  1904  celebrated  its  Triennial  reunion  in  New 
Haven  this  year  with  over  one  hundred  and  seventy-five 
members  present.  On  Saturday,  June  22,  several  trial  heats 
were  run  off  in  New  Haven;  but  the  participants  were  so 
exhausted  that  they  were  somewhat  incapacitated  for  active 
service  later  in  the  celebration.  After  this  preliminary 
"jockeying"  for  position,  1904  got  off  in  a  bunch  on  Mon- 
day, June  24. 

After  various  meetings  Tuesday  morning  (in  one  of  which 
a  gifted  Sexennial  committee  was  elected,  consisting  of  E. 
Ely,  Mason,  Parks,  Victor  and  Wiggin)  the  Class  submitted 
to  a  bombardment  by  Pach,  Leopold,  Curtiss,  and  special 
photographers  for  the  leading  fashion  publications  of  the 
country,  and  then  set  out  en  bloc  for  the  field.  The  trying 
march  was  accomplished  without  loss  of  life,  though  several 
jockeys  sustained  severe  injuries  from  the  bucking  of  their 
hobby-horses,  which  took  fright  at  a  loud  but  false  report 
about  a  free  lunch  at  the  game.  When  Captain  Kinney's  men 
had  scored  an  easy  victory,  1904  marched  back  to  cheer 
Prexy  and  ex-Prexy,  and  was  rewarded  by  appropriately 
complimentary  speeches. 

The  Class  supper  at  Young  Men's  Republican  Hall  was 
literally  a  howling  success,  in  which  the  favorite  howls  were 
"The  Handicap"  and  other  ballads  of  the  race  track. 
There  was  cheering  for  Winslow  and  the  Triennial  Commit- 
tee. The  Long  Distance  Cup  went  to  J.  C.  Kittle,  who  came 
all  the  way  from  Ross,  Cal.,  U.  S.  A.  Kittle's  speech  of 
acceptance  was  the  hit  of  the  evening;  his  well-chosen 
remarks  were  considered  so  perfect  by  those  who  have  heard 
after-dinner  speaking  both  on  this  side  of  the  ocean  and  on 
the  other  side  of  the  ocean,  that  they  will  doubtless  be  pub- 
lished in  full  in  the  forthcoming  Record  of  the  Class.  Miller's

remarks,  mingled  though  they  were  with  flying  oyster 
crackers  and  loaf  sugar,  were  also  a  choice  flower  of  oratory. 
Then  came  the  celebration  on  the  Campus.  A  somewhat 
premature  display  of  fireworks  was  given  by  two  care-free 
members  of  the  Class,  who  succeeded  in  setting  fire  to  the 
fireworks  wagon  before  the  Campus  was  reached:  though 
this  enterprising  achievement  furnished  a  brilliant  spectacle 
for  a  few  minutes,  at  the  cost  of  most  of  the  hair,  skin,  and 
other  covering  of  the  two  conspirators  as  well  as  the  driver 
and  the  horse,  still  the  loss  of  the  fireworks  cast  a  gloom 
later  in  the  evening.  Mention  should  certainly  be  made  of 
Count  Ely's  "seeing  Yale"  excursion  in  "Pop"  Warner's 
automobile  express  wagon,  which  he  at  first  was  unable  to 
start  and  then  was  unable  to  stop  until  "Pop"  himself 
climbed  aboard:  and  of  several  honorary  degrees  taken  at 
Commencement  on  Wednesday  by  members  of  the  Class — 
who  had  neglected  to  go  through  this  formality  three  years 
ago. — From  Lawrence  Mason's  account  in  the  Yale  Alumni 
Weekly,  July  10,  1907. 

MINUTES  OF  TRIENNIAL  MEETING 

The  first  reunion  meeting  of  the  Class  was  held  in  room 
Al,  Osborn  Hall,  New  Haven,  Conn.,  at  11  o'clock  in  the 
forenoon,  on  Tuesday,  June  25,  1907. 

The  meeting  was  called  to  order  by  Burnside  Winslow, 
chairman  of  the  Triennial  Committee,  who  was  unanimously 
elected  chairman,  and  W.  L.  Mitchell  acted  as  secretary  of 
the  meeting. 

There  being  no  reports  to  be  made,  the  chairman  pro- 
ceeded at  once  to  announce  the  plans  and  schedules  for  the 
day,  as  follows:

F.  8.00  P.  M.  March  on  Campus. 

With  the  unanimous  consent  of  all  present  the  meeting  then 
proceeded  to  an  election  of  a  committee  to  take  charge  of 
the  Sexennial  Reunion  of  the  Class,  to  be  held  in  June,  1910. 
Upon  motion  duly  made  and  seconded  it  was  unanimously 

Resolved,  That  the  number  of  men  to  serve  as  members 
of  the  Sexennial  Committee  be  and  it  hereby  is  fixed  at  five. 

The  following  nominations  were  then  made:  Edward  C. 
Ely,  Lawrence  Mason,  G.  Elton  Parks,  George  F.  Victor, 
Frederick  H.  Wiggin. 

No  other  nominations  being  made  a  vote  was  had  result- 
ing in  the  unanimous  election  of  the  above-named  gentlemen 
to  serve  as  members  of  the  Sexennial  Committee. 

Songs  written  for  the  occasion  were  then  rehearsed,  after 
which  a  vote  of  thanks  was  extended  by  the  Class  to  the  com- 
mittee in  charge. 

No  further  business  being  presented  the  meeting,  upon 
motion,  adjourned.

SOME  SEXENNIAL  FACES 


SEXENNIAL 

In  regard  to  our  Sailor  Sexennial,  we  modestly  put  the 
question  and  record  the  answer: 

"Did  1904  celebrate  a  reunion?  It  celebrated  the 
reunion !" 

From  Saturday  to  Thursday  we  owned  the  town  and  all 
that  therein  is.  "Rich,  rare  and  racy,"  was  the  verdict 
passed  upon  our  exhibition  of  speed,  and  we  must  confess 
that  that  is  a  conservative  estimate. 

By  Saturday  noon  many  good  men  and  true  had 
reported  for  active  service,  and  Graduate  Club  stock  at  once 
began  to  soar.  Some  attended  the  Cornell  game,  some 
(commended  rather  for  their  zeal  than  for  their  technique) 
provided  spectators  with  novel  entertainment  on  the  Lawn 
Club  tennis  courts,  while  yet  others  inaugurated  the  swim- 
ming pool  fad  or  the  Savin  Rock  mania.  In  the  evening 
many  held  down  the  1904  Cheering  Section  at  the  Campus 
Dramatic  performance,  and  later  all  united  in  the  absorbing 
cultivation  of  fellowship.  Taken  all  in  all,  a  very  laudable 
and  highly  salubrious  day  was  scratched  from  the  calendar. 
Sunday  was  devoted  to  the  exhausting  effort  to  keep  cool ;  no 
unofficial  estimate  of  the  heat  is  printable,  and  government 
statistics  are  likewise  wanting  owing  to  the  fact  that  the 
official  thermometer  on  top  of  the  Malley  Block  boiled  over. 
Suffice  it  to  say  that  no  solid  food  other  than  cracked  ice 
was  consumed  for  five  days,  and  numerous  prostrations  were 
averted  only  by  prompt  and  frequent  applications  of  acid 
and  juniper.  Many  valuable  lives  were  saved,  furthermore, 
by  our  sanitary  and  commodious  costume  which  was  at  once 
comfortable,  sensible,  and  cool,  as  well  as  aesthetically  ravish- 
ing. 

Monday  witnessed  a  signal  victory  for  1904  over  1907  on 
the  Campus.  The  game  was  called  at  the  end  of  the  sixth 


16  THE  CLASS 

inning  on  account  of  dryness.  The  official  score  (N.  B. — 
Patrons  are  cautioned  against  accepting  any  but  the  genu- 
ine!) follows: 

1904  1       9       0     '4     23     S7t     *       * 

1907  0       0       0       0—1—3       *       * 


*Bye  holes  not  played,     f  Estimated.     (Bogey  is  75.) 

The  only  strikeout  was  scored  by  Williams,  1904,  who 
served  three  fast  ones  while  two  1907  men  were  fighting  for 
the  bat.  Lack  of  space  alone  forbids  due  mention  of  the 
stellar  feature  of  the  game,  namely  the  meteoric  playing  of 
1904's  second  baseman  (none  other  than  the  versatile  author 
of  this  veracious  chronicle !)  :  he  confesses  to  a  brilliant 
double  play,  two  incredible  assists,  and  some  gilt-edged  body- 
checking.  Sixty-one  members  of  the  Class  were  awarded 
their  numerals,  in  recognition  of  their  participation  in  this 
victory.  Monday  afternoon  saw  another  1904  triumph, 
when  a  picked  nine,  headed  by  Captain  Winslow,  defeated  the 
flower  of  1904  S.,  on  the  Freshman  diamond.  Monday  even- 
ing was  given  up  to  a  "safe  and  sane"  celebration  at  the 
Rock,  after  an  admirably  esculent  repast  had  been  partaken 
of  at  the  Old  Homestead.  Some  thrilling  bareback  riding  on 
the  merry-go-round  shared  the  popular  vote  for  "favorite 
amusement"  with  the  spirited  Marathon  of  an  indiscreet 
bather  in  pursuit  of  the  automobile  containing  his  clothes. 

In  the  Class  meeting  on  Tuesday  morning  considerable 
business  was  transacted,  including  the  election  of  W.  Ely, 
Northrop,  Parks  and  Wiggin  as  Decennial  Committee.  At 
noon  the  Class  picture  was  taken,  adding  one  other  thing  of 
beauty  to  America's  art  treasures,  and  then  after  a  hasty 
but  sincere  luncheon  we  executed  our  historic  march  to  the 
field.  At  our  appearance  the  assembled  multitude  was 
electrified:  many  thousands  even  asserted  that  it  almost

atoned  for  the  hour-and-a-half  wait  before  the  game  began, 
and  all  rational  beholders  agreed  that  1904  had  the  best 
costume,  the  best  band,  the  best  mascot  (Tonda),  and  the 
best  time  extant.  Harvard  was  properly  slaughtered  and 
the  obsequies  celebrated  as  per  usual,  and  the  meeting 
adjourned  with  tumult  and  shouting.  "Then  they  marched 
back,  but  not  the  six  hundred."  Only  a  faithful  few  survived 
the  dangerous  passage  between  the  Scylla  and  Charybdis  of 
the  University  and  Graduates  Clubs,  but  they  were  rewarded 
by  a  fine  speech  from  President  Hadley.  Then  came  the 
Class  dinner  at  Warner  Hall  (causing  Roman  holidays  in 
Nero's  palmiest  prime  to  pale  their  ineffectual  fires),  the 
pyrotechnics  on  the  Campus,  and  finally  the  scattering  all 
over  town  with  the  all-conquering  watch-cry,  "Every  man 
his  own  Bicentennial."  Euthanasy,  indeed ! 

The  morrow  brought  the  exodus,  and  soon  New  Haven 
settled  back  into  "still  life"  again,  to  wait  till  1914.— From 
Lawrence  Mason's  account  in  the  Yale  Alumni  Weekly,  July 
8,  1910. 

MINUTES  OF  SEXENNIAL  MEETING 

The  second  reunion  meeting  of  the  Class  was  held  in  room 
A2,  Osborn  Hall,  New  Haven,  Conn.,  at  11.15  o'clock  in  the 
forenoon  on  Tuesday,  June  21,  1910. 

The  meeting  was  called  to  order  by  Frederick  H.  Wiggin, 
chairman  of  the  Sexennial  Committee,  who  was  unanimously 
elected  chairman  of  the  meeting,  and  the  Class  Secretary 
acted  as  secretary. 

After  the  chairman  had  announced  the  plans  and  schedule 
for  the  day,  the  meeting  proceeded  to  an  election  of  a  com- 
mittee to  arrange  for  the  Decennial  Reunion  of  the  Class, 
to  be  held  in  June,  1914.  After  some  discussion  it  was,  upon 
motion  duly  made  and  seconded,  unanimously 


18  THE  CLASS 

Resolved,  That  the  number  of  men  to  serve  as  members  of 
the  Decennial  Committee  be,  and  it  hereby  is,  fixed  at  four 
(4). 

The  following  nominations  were  then  made: 

Frederick  H.  Wiggin  of  New  Haven,  Conn. 
William  B.  Ely  of  New  Haven,  Conn. 
Edwin  C.  Northrop  of  W'aterbury,  Conn. 
G.  Elton  Parks  of  New  York  City. 

No  other  nominations  being  made  a  vote  was  had  resulting 
in  the  unanimous  election  of  the  above-named  gentlemen  to 
serve  as  members  of  the  Decennial  Committee. 

In  response  to  the  chairman's  call  for  reports,  Thomas  B. 
Thacher,  the  Class  agent,  announced  that  the  special  Sex- 
ennial contribution  of  the  Class  to  the  Alumni  Fund  would 
not  exceed  fourteen  hundred  dollars  ($1,400.00),  all  of  which 
had  been  subscribed  by  about  sixty  members  of  the  Class. 

Lawrence  Mason  reported  that  the  surplus  of  the  funds 
of  the  1904  Junior  Promenade  Committee,  amounting  to 
two  hundred  and  twenty-five  dollars  ($225.00)  had  been 
divided  between  the  Academic  Freshman  departments  in 
English  and  history.  (See  page  311.-) 

The  Class  Secretary  announced  the  number  of  men  who  at 
that  date  had  responded  to  the  last  appeal  for  data  for  the 
Class  Record. 

Songs  written  by  L.  Mason  were  then  distributed  and 
rehearsed,  Mr.  Mason  conducting,  after  which  a  vote  of 
thanks  was  extended  to  the  committee,  particularly  to  its 
chairman,  Frederick  H.  Wiggin,  who  had  willingly  assumed 
a  large  share  of  the  responsibilities. 

No  further  business  being  presented,  the  meeting,  upon 
motion,  adjourned.

NEW  YORK  DINNERS 

t 

It  is  with  the  utmost  regret  that  the  Class  Secretary 
realizes  that  those  who  turn  to  this  portion  of  the  record  with 
the  full  expectation  of  reading  a  detailed  account  of  the 
New  York  reunions  and  the  names  of  those  who  have  attended 
any  or  all  of  them  will  find  no  more  than  a  brief  account  of 
but  two  of  the  six  Class  dinners  which  have  been  held  since 
graduation  at  the  New  York  Yale  Club.  Unfortunately 
nothing  can  be  said  to  properly  explain  the  lack  of  data  in 
this  connection  except  that  through  thoughtlessness  or  inex- 
perience your  Secretary  attempted  too  late  to  put  in  perma- 
nent form  the  material  offered  by  those  memorable  occasions. 

But  what  we  do  in  the  future  we  have  learned  from  the  past 
and  that  all  New  York  reunions  of  the  Class,  including  the 
one  to  be  held  on  April  1,  1911,  may  hereafter  become  his- 
tory, Edward  C.  Ely  has  generously  consented  to  assume  the 
title  "Recorder  of  1904  Dinners"  and  to  supply  the  Yale 
Alumni  Weekly  with  articles  which  will  recall  details  of  what 
for  many  reasons  may  to  some  of  us  be  but  a  vague  recol- 
lection.

SECOND  NEW  YORK  DINNER 
WILLARD  H.  DURHAM 

The  second  annual  banquet  of  the  Class  of  1904,  Yale 
College,  was  held  at  the  Yale  Club  in  New  York  City  Satur- 
day night,  March  17,  1906.  The  invitations  previously  sent 
out  requested  "the  pleasure  of  your  company"  on  that  night 
"to  meet  St.  Patrick  and  1904."  In  response  to  this  sum- 
mons ninety-seven  veterans  turned  out,  prepared  to  do  and 
die.  The  conflict  raged  till  3  a.m. 

The  long-distance  cup,  awarded  to  the  man  who  traveled 
farthest  in  order  to  attend  the  dinner,  was  given  to  Winston 
of  Chicago ;  other  prominent  candidates  were  Graff  of  Pitts- 
burg,  with  whom  the  least  exertion  is  an  effort  equivalent  to 
a  hundred  miles'  journey  for  anyone  else,  and  Harvey 
Williams  of  Brooklyn.  The  cup  would  undoubtedly  have  gone 
to  Basil  Scott  of  Long  Island,  but  the  news  of  the  banquet 
reached  that  remote  locality  only  two  weeks  before  the 
appointed  night,  and  Basil,  though  traveling  night  and  day, 
was  unable  to  arrive  till  the  following  morning,  and  thus 
failed  to  qualify. 

Early  in  the  evening  everyone  rose  to  drink  a  silent  toast 
in  memory  of  Fred  Maurice  Maxwell  and  of  Fred  Chambers 
Baldwin,  better  known  and  lovingly  remembered  as  "Pop" 
Baldwin,  the  first  two  men  to  fall  from  the  ranks  since  the 
Class  entered  college. 

David  Boies,  as  toastmaster,  added  greatly  to  the  gaiety 
of  nations.  His  sparking-plug  emitted  ceaseless  blinding 
scintillations,  until  it  blew  out  in  the  grill  room  at  £.30  a.m. 
while  he  was  striking  high  C  in  a  peculiarly  difficult  tenor 
harmony.  Boies  read  a  letter  from  Dr.  P.  S.  Ney,  the  only 
living  member  of  the  Triennial  Committee  in  captivity  (and 
he's  in  Hartford!)  which  was  noted  for  a  feeling  allusion  to 
June,  1907,  "when  our  Triennial  comes  off,  together  with  the 


22  THE  CLASS 

lid."  The  first  speaker,  G.  E.  Parks,  responded  to  the  toast, 
"Six  years  with  the  Banjo  Club."  He  tore  off  a  few  ripping 
stories  to  begin  with,  and  then  closed  with  a  stirring  appeal 
for  those  two  fundamental  Yale  qualities,  friendship  and 
loyalty.  Count  Ely's  toast  was  "Reveries  of  a  Bache- 
lor." Count  showed  the  Class  itself  as  others  see  it,  and  the 
Class  envied  the  others.  His  efforts  were  rewarded  by  an 
appointment  to  serve,  with  Welles  and  Green,  on  the  Dinner 
Committee  for  next  year.  The  last  speaker,  Lawrence 
Mason,  who  at  last  year's  dinner  had  suggested  that  Osborn 
Hall  be  transported  to  the  New  Yale  in  China  to  serve  as  a 
pagoda,  this  year  brought  forward  another  proposition  to 
keep  the  Class  on  line  with  the  recent  agitation  for  the  manu- 
mission or  emancipation  of  the  Freshmen;  namely,  a  motion 
that  the  Hillhouse  estate  be  given  to  the  Freshmen  for  a  play- 
ground and  Vanderbilt  Hall  for  a  nursery.  His  toast  was : 
"1904  in  1954,  or  280  Entries  in  the  Futurity."  Hickman, 
Thacher  and  Goetchius  also  spoke  extemporaneously  but 
brilliantly ;  and  Mohlman  was  only  restrained  from  speaking 
by  superior  numbers.  St.  Patrick,  who  had  exchanged  his 
halo  for  1904  numerals,  was  present  in  spirits  (sic). 

After  cheers  for  the  committee,  for  1904,  and  for  Yale,  and 
after  a  splendid  rendering  of  "Bright  College  Years,"  the 
Class  adjourned  to  the  grill  room  for  a  considerable  extension 
of  the  occasion. — Yale  Alumni  Weekly,  March  £8,  1906.

EDWARD  C.  ELY, 
DOUGLAS  B.  GREEN, 

Committee. 

In  May,  1908,  Mr.  Welles,  chairman  of  the  above  named 
comittee,  made  the  following  statement  concerning  the  elec- 
tion of  a  Class  Secretary  to  succeed  Henry  L.  Foote,  re- 
signed. This  statement  appeared  in  the  Yale  Alumni  Weekly 
for  May  27,  1908 : 

At  the  annual  dinner  of  the  Class  of  1Q04,  held  at  the  New 
York  Yale  Club  on  March  21,  1908,  the  resignation  of  Henry  L. 
Foote  as  Class  Secretary  was  received  and  accepted.  The  fifty- 
eight  members  of  the  Class  there  present  nominated  G.  Elton 
Parks  and  Douglas  B.  Green  as  candidates  for  the  position  and 
in  accordance  with  the  plan  then  adopted  ballots  were  sent  to 
the  Class  and  a  vote  was  taken  by  mail.  One  hundred  and 
seventy-three  votes  were  cast,  of  which  number  Mr.  Parks  received 
one  hundred  and  one  and  is  therefore  declared  elected. 

To  those  of  the  Class  who  were  not  present  at  the  dinner  it 
may  be  of  interest  to  know  that  the  matter  received  the  fullest 
consideration  and  that  the  method  of  election  adopted  seemed  to 
be  the  best  way  to  fill  the  vacancy  without  too  great  loss  of  time. 
It  is  hoped  that  when  the  difficulty  of  the  situation  is  taken  into 
consideration  the  result  will  be  satisfactory  to  every  one  and  that 
Mr.  Parks  will  have  the  united  support  of  the  Class.

NINETEEN-FOUR  IN  THE  FACULTY 
BY  F.  E.  PIERCE 

Lives  of  great  men  all  remind  us 

We  can  labor  long  in  vain, 
And  departing  leave  behind  us 

Blanks  upon  the  Freshman  brain. 

Nineteen-four  was  the  first  class  in  many  years  that  failed 
to  get  thirty  men  into  Phi  Beta  Kappa.  Whether  this  evi- 
dence of  originality  on  our  part  impressed  the  authorities 
favorably,  or  this  unbearable  stigma  spurred  our  scholastic 
champions  to  unusual  belated  efforts,  I  know  not;  but  cer- 
tainly the  stone  which  the  Dean's  office  rejected  has  become 
the  head  of  the  faculty  corner.  We  have  at  present,  and 
have  had  for  some  years,  more  members  in  the  body  of  in- 
structors than  any  other  class  since  the  famous  one  of  '96. 

Not  only  is  our  number  on  the  faculty  large,  but  it  has 
shown  a  constant  tendency  to  increase.  I  refrain  from  dis- 
cussing the  bearing  which  this  may  have  on  our  younger 
brothers  who  present  themselves  before  1904  instructors  with 
pleasant  smiles  and  small  information ;  I  wish  simply  to  point 
out  that  our  Class  through  their  faculty  members  are  becom- 
ing more  and  more  a  molding  force  in  the  future  life  and 
spirit  of  Yale.  Several  of  our  band,  finding  more  lucrative 
fields  elsewhere,  have  forsaken  the  cause  of  knowledge;  but 
others  have  risen  in  their  places,  and  our  representation  has 
steadily  enlarged. 

The  next  hopeful  sign  is  in  the  number  of  branches  which 
these  men  are  pursuing.  In  the  classrooms  of  Clare  Mendell 
or  Billy  Kirkham  one  may  learn  to  dissect  either  a  dead 
language  or  a  living  frog.  He  may  be  guided  by  Bull  Dur- 
ham through  the  production  of  literature  or  by  Polly  Clapp 
through  the  literature  of  production.  Under  Otis  Bigelow 


26  THE  CLASS 

or  Raymond  Hill  he  may  master  a  French  which  they  are 
trying  to  make  something  more  than  the  art  of  confusing 
without  enlightening  a  Parisian  shopkeeper.  In  the  cup  of 
"the  meanest  flower  that  blows"  Sam  Hemingway  can  find 
thoughts  too  deep  for  tears,  and  George  Nichols  names  too 
long  for  pronunciation.  Through  the  echoing  vale  of  music 
Seth  Bingham  is  going  from  strength  to  strength,  proving 
a  credit  to  us  all.  Daily  in  the  sounding  halls  of  Lampson 
that  facile  wit  of  Lawrie  Mason's,  which  was  the  delight  of 
our  palmy  days,  comes  back  like  the  phoenix  from  its  ashes. 
And  your  Class  poet  is  sadly  pointing  out  to  Freshmen  the 
inferiority  of  his  own  work  to  Shakespeare's. 

Furthermore,  with  the  passing  of  the  years,  some  of  our 
brethren  are  beginning  to  mount  the  ladder  and  become 
known  in  a  wider  circle.  To  an  instructor  who  has  read  on 
an  undergraduate  paper  that  Judas  Iscariot  was  one  of  the 
greatest  of  Italian  painters,  fame  can  never  appear  as  the 
summum  bonum  of  life ;  but  if  not  for  fame,  at  least  for  their 
own  satisfaction  your  classmates  are  working  upward. 
Several  articles  in  learned  periodicals,  two  or  three  poems  in 
different  magazines,  and  parts  of  two  or  three  books  already 
are  under  the  names  of  1904  men,  and  more,  we  hope,  are  soon 
to  follow. 

The  statistics  of  our  faculty  activities  are  given  below, 
presented  by  the  author  with  that  stereotyped  tabulation  and 
lucid  lack  of  interest  which  the  Ph.  D.  system  is  supposed  to 
inculcate.

28  THE  CLASS 

It  is  too  early  yet  to  expect  from  any  of  us  remarkable 
exploits  or  earth-shaking  discoveries;  but  we  are  all  doing 
our  best,  building  for  the  future,  and  grappling  earnestly 
with  the  problem  before  us.  And  that  problem  is  harder  than 
most  laymen  realize.  For  one  thing,  it  weighs  on  our  spirits 
as  teachers  to  feel  the  hopeless  magnitude  of  our  task,  in 
trying  to  make  any  impression  with  our  little  teaspoons  of 
culture  on  these  vast  mountains  of  ignorance  and  indifference. 
They  loom  over  us  and  depress  us  by  their  very  bulk  and 
unchangeableness  as  Ruskin  says  that  the  Alps  depress  the 
Swiss  peasants.  Then,  too,  all  our  problems  both  of  teaching 
and  research  are  at  present  in  a  state  of  flux,  of  uncertainty ; 
and  the  perplexing  question  as  to  what  is  and  is  not  worth 
while  haunts  us  like  Banquo's  ghost  "with  twenty  mortal 
blunders  on  its  crown."  This  is  a  problem  which  needs  both 
effort  and  width  of  view  for  its  solution ;  and  we  are  trying  to 
solve  it.  I  am  glad  that  several  of  our  band  have  won  their 
scholastic  spurs  and  seen  their  names  in  print.  But  I  think 
the  noblest  work  of  our  Class  in  the  faculty  is  simply  this: 
that  between  the  Scylla  of  pedantry  and  the  Charybdis  of  the 
Graduate  Club  cocktail  they  are  trying  to  steer  their  way 
toward  a  sphere  of  real  usefulness  to  mankind. 

Sometimes  we  win,  sometimes  we  fail, 

Now  seers,  now  grinds ;  but  evermore 
We  try  to  make  our  lives  avail 
For  God,  for  country,  and  for  Yale, 
And  Nineteen-four.

Business  Address,  Copake,  N.  Y. 

Born  November  24,  1879,  at  New  Milford,  Conn.,  the  son  of 
George  B.  Ackley,  a  farmer  of  New  Milford,  Conn.,  and  Caroline 
Averill  (Sperry)  Ackley.  He  prepared  at  Hopkins  Grammar 
School,  New  Haven,  Conn.  He  is  unmarried. 

Ackley  has  been  president  and  manager  of  the  Copake 
Telephone  Company  since  July  25,  1908.  He  writes : 

"After  spending  a  few  weeks  at  home,  I  started  for  New 
York  City  and  took  a  room  on  the  'rath'  floor  of  a  house  on 
Forty-seventh  Street,  near  Fifth  Avenue.  Tried  soliciting 
for  the  New  York  Life  Insurance  Company,  but  after  about 
two  weeks  I  decided  that  I  was  'in  wrong'  and  went  to  work 
for  the  American  Telephone  &  Telegraph  Company,  where  I 
have  since  been.  My  first  year  with  the  American  Telephone 
&  Telegraph  Company  as  'material  man'  was  spent  in  or  near 
Putnam,  Conn.,  Blackstone,  R.  I.,  Boston  and  Springfield, 
Mass.,  Troy  and  Schenectady,  N.  Y.,  and  Hudson,  N.  Y. 
My  second  year  was  spent  mostly  in  Pennsylvania  and  New 
Jersey  at  various  points :  Scranton,  Wilkesbarre,  Towanda, 
Allentown,  Reading,  Harrisburg,  and  Philadelphia,  and  some 
small  New  Jersey  towns.  From  there  I  went  south  to  Mobile, 
Ala.,  and  spent  a  part  of  one  year  down  there  in  Mississippi, 
Alabama,  Georgia,  Tennessee  and  Kentucky.  I  then  crossed 
the  Ohio  River  into  Indiana  and  went  from  there  to  Ohio 
(Cincinnati  and  Columbus)  and  from  Columbus  to  Pittsburg, 
Pa.,  where  I  spent  most  of  one  winter.  I  then  went  East 
again  to  Hudson,  Boston,  Springfield,  successively,  all  this

time  in  the  construction  department  of  the  American  Tele- 
phone &  Telegraph  Company.  In  Springfield  I  was  trans- 
ferred to  the  plant  department  of  the  American  Telephone  & 
Telegraph  Company  and  went  to  Syracuse,  N.  Y.  I  stayed 
there  about  three  months,  then  came  to  New  York  City  and 
was  with  the  New  York  Telephone  Company  all  winter.  In 
the  spring  of  1908  the  Copake  Telephone  Company  was 
incorporated  and  in  this  company  I  have  been  actively  inter- 
ested since  its  incorporation.  Its  location  covers  various 
points  in  Dutchess  and  Columbia  Counties,  N.  Y." 

Ackley  is  a  Mason  and  a  member  of  the  Woodmen  and  the

George  Webster  Adams 

Residence,  316  West  Ninety-seventh  Street,  New  York  City. 
Business  Address,  44  East  Twenty-third  Street,  New  York  City. 

Born  May  21,  1880,  in  Utica,  N.  Y.,  the  son  of  George  Webster 
Adams  (died  in  August,  1896)  and  Laura  (Crouse)  Adams 
(died  in  May,  1889).  He  prepared  at  Phillips  Andover,  and 
in  college  was  treasurer  of  the  Sophomore  Wigwam,  manager  of

mittee at  Class  Day,  and  a  member  of  the  Lotus  Eaters,  Delta 
Kappa  Epsilon,  and  Skull  and  Bones. 

He  was  married  on  May  23,  1908,  in  West  Chester,  N.  Y.,  to 
Miss  Hester  Ferris,  a  graduate  of  the  Pelham  School  (Miss 
Hazen's),  and  daughter  of  Sarah  Minerva  (Bishop)  Ferris  and 
Henry  Ferris.  They  have  no  children. 

Since  December  1,  1909,  Adams  has  been  in  the  employ  of 
the  Charles  E.  Merrill  Company,  publishers.  Concerning  his 
recent  life  he  writes : 

"After  leaving  college  and  on  August  1,  1904,  I  entered 
the  employ  of  the  Utica  &  Mohawk  Valley  Railway  Company, 
the  local  street  railway  company  of  Utica,  where  I  stayed 
two  years.  I  worked  in  the  shops,  mostly  night  work.  I  was 
night  foreman  of  the  car  barns  and  later  assistant  foreman 
of  a  division  in  the  electrification  of  the  West  Shore  road  from 
Utica  to  Syracuse.  In  August,  1906,  I  left  the  employ  of 
the  street  railway  company  and  in  November,  1906,  entered 
the  employ  of  the  J.  H.  Williams  Company,  Utica,  N.  Y., 
manufacturer  of  supplies  for  cotton  and  woolen  mills.  In 
this  company  I  was  elected  to  the  board  of  directors  and  held 


34  BIOGRAPHIES 

the  office  of  vice-president,  later  changing  to  secretary  and 
treasurer.  I  stayed  with  this  company  until  May,  1909, 
when  I  decided  I  wished  to  enter  the  larger  business  field 
of  New  York  City  and  so  resigned  my  position  in  this  busi- 
ness. Since  leaving  college  to  the  spring  of  1908  my 
home  had  been  at  311  Geneva  Street,  Utica,  N.  Y.  I  was 
married  in  May,  1908,  and  after  a  trip  abroad  took  up  my 
residence  at  85  Cornelia  Street,  Utica,  N.  Y.  In  April, 
1908,  I  was  appointed  by  the  Governor  of  New  York  State 
a  manager  of  the  Rome  State  Custodial  Asylum  at  Rome, 
N.  Y.,  a  state  institution  for  feeble-minded  persons,  of 
about  one  thousand  inmates.  When  I  decided  to  move  to 
New  York  City  I  resigned  this  position.  During  the  winter 
(1909-10)  I  lived  at  the  Hotel  Iroquois,  49  East  Forty- 
fourth  Street,  New  York  City,  and  have  but  recently  taken 
up  my  residence  at  316  West  Ninety-seventh  Street."

N.  Y.,  and  of  the  New  York  Yale  Club. 

Frederick  Charles  Aldinger 

Address,  226  Genesee  Street,  Lansing,  Mich. 

Born  December  21,  1873,  in  Frankfort,  N.  Y.,  the  son  of  John 
Aldinger,  a  farmer,  and  Sarah  (Evans)  Aldinger.  He  prepared 
at  Drake  University,  Des  Moines,  Iowa,  entering  Yale  in  Sep- 
tember, 1903  (fall  of  Senior  year).  After  receiving  the  degree 
of  B.  A.  in  1904,  Aldinger  continued  his  studies  at  Yale  until 
1905,  when  he  received  the  degree  of  M.  A.  He  also  received 
the  degree  of  B.  D.  in  1907  from  Chicago  University  after  two 
years  of  further  study  at  that  institution. 

He  was  married  on  October  30,  1907,  in  Emmetsburg,  Iowa, 
to  Miss  Ella  Chlor  Hough,  Drake  University  '02,  daughter  of 
Mary  E.  (Tripp)  Hough  and  Henry  H.  Hough.  They  have  no 
children.

OF  GRADUATES  35 

"After  leaving  Yale  in  1905,  I  studied  two  years  in  the 
University  of  Chicago.  Then  I  was  called  to  the  pastorate 
of  the  First  Church  of  Christ,  Grand  Rapids,  Mich. 
Charges  of  heresy  were  here  made  against  me  and  I  then 
began  preaching  for  an  independent  religious  organization 
in  the  Jewish  Temple.  In  January,  1909,  I  accepted  an 
offer  to  become  pastor  of  the  Church  of  Our  Father  (Uni- 
versalist)  of  Lansing,  Mich."

the  fall  of  1906  assisted  Rockwell  in  the  development  of  the 
University  Football  Team  for  that  year.  For  two  years 
after  graduation  he  was  engaged  as  mill  examiner  for  the 
Factory  Insurance  Association,  traveling  for  the  most  part 
through  the  Southern  states  east  of  the  Mississippi.  He 
severed  his  connection  with  this  concern  in  June,  1906,  and

Christopher  Magee  Anderson

Business  Address,  674  Frick  Building  Annex,  Pittsburg,  Pa.

Miller  Anderson  of  the  Colonial  Steel  Company,  residing  at  4512 
Fifth  Avenue,  Pittsburg,  Pa.,  and  Clara  Cecelia  (Steel)  Ander-

that  institution  in  1907,  and  in  November  of  the  same  year

George  William  Anderson

Business  Address,  Pawling  School,  Pawling,  N.  Y. 

Born  December  22,  1877,  in  Delhi,  N.  Y.,  the  son  of  William 
Anderson  (died  1Q09),  a  farmer  of  Delhi,  N.  Y.,  and  Mary 


OF  GRADUATES  37 

Jane  (Blake)  Anderson.  He  prepared  at  Delaware  Academy, 
Delhi,  N.  Y.,  and  in  college  was  a  member  of  the  Scrub  Football 
Team.  He  is  unmarried. 

Anderson  has  been  head  of  the  Latin  department  and  a 
member  of  the  board  of  directors  of  the  Pawling  School, 
Pawling,  N.  Y.,  since  September,  1907.  He  writes : 

"I  entered  the  faculty  of  St.  Paul's  School,  Garden  City, 
L.  I.,  as  assistant  in  Latin  in  September,  1904.  After  teach- 
ing there  for  three  years  difficulties  arose  between  the  head- 
master and  the  cathedral  corporation.  The  result  was  the 
resignation  of  the  entire  faculty  and  the  founding  by  Dr. 
Gamage  and  his  former  associates,  of  the  Pawling  School. 
It  is  interesting  to  know  that  of  the  founders  four  are  Yale 
men :  Kendall,  '95  ;  Horace  M.  Snyder,  '95 ;  George  Jacobus, 
'95 ;  George  W.  Anderson,  '04.  The  school  bids  fair  to  be 
very  successful.  This  year  we  have  received  gifts  aggregat- 
ing $200,000.  The  Clueet  Memorial  Building  is  up  and 
dedicated.  A  gymnasium  and  infirmary  have  been  assured, 
as  well  as  sufficient  funds  to  construct  a  modern  athletic  field. 
The  school  is  full,  and  sending  most  of  the  boys  to  Sheff." 

Anderson  is  a  member  of  the  Graduates  Club  of  New  York.

*Fred  Chambers  Baldwin 
Died  1905. 

Born  August  9,  1881,  in  Makawao,  Maui,  Hawaiian  Islands, 
the  son  of  Henry  Ferine  Baldwin  and  Emily  (Alexander)  Bald- 
win. He  prepared  at  the  Hotchkiss  School,  Lakeville,  Conn.,  and 
in  college  was  a  member  of  Alpha  Delta  Phi,  and  Wolf's  Head. 

Both  his  grandfathers,  Reverend  Dwight  Baldwin,  M.  D. 
(Yale  1821),  and  Rev.  William  Patterson  Alexander,  spent  their 
lives  as  missionaries  and  teachers  in  the  Hawaiian  Islands.  His 
mother's  brother,  William  DeWitt  Alexander,  LL.  D.  (Yale 
1855),  was  from  1864  to  1871  President  of  Oahu  College,  and 
subsequently  Surveyor-General  of  the  Hawaiian  Islands. 

After  graduation  Baldwin  returned  to  the  island  of  Maui, 
where  he  was  associated  with  his  father  in  the  raising  and 
sale  of  sugar.  While  in  New  York  City  on  a  visit  he  died 
after  a  short  illness  of  appendicitis,  October  11,  1905,  at  the 
age  of  twenty-four  years.  He  was  unmarried.  A  brother 
graduated  from  the  Academical  Department  in  1898,  another 
brother  was  for  a  time  a  member  of  Sheffield  Scientific  School, 
Class  of  '99,  and  another  brother  was  a  member  of  the  Class 
of  '08. 

Concerning  him  one  of  his  classmates  has  written:  "As 
we  think  of  a  man  like  Frederick  Chambers  Baldwin,  it 
seems  as  if  we  saw  again  his  smile  of  understanding,  as  if 
we  had  shaken  hands  with  him  just  now  at  the  corner  of  the 
street.  We  realize  that  his  spirit  lives,  and  that  we  have  a 
higher  ideal  of  honesty,  a  stronger  ideal  of  loyalty,  a  deeper

and  a  truer  ideal  of  friendship  for  having  known  him,  and 
that  in  our  hearts,  we  ask  to  live  not  speak  our  tribute  to  his 
life."

Haven,  Conn.,  Class  of  1899,  and  in  college  was  a  member  of 
the  Bicentennial  Greek  Ode  Chorus  and  advertising  solicitor  for 
the  Yale  News. 

He  was  married  on  October  27,  1909,  at  St.  Peter's  Roman 
Catholic  Church,  New  Haven,  Conn.,  to  Miss  Grace  Williams 
Elizabeth  Tiernan,  daughter  of  Frances  Stack  Tiernan  and 
Francis  W.  Tiernan. 

Barry  has  been  managing  editor  of  the  Waterbury  Repub- 
lican since  February  1,  1910. 

During  his  college  course  Barry  was  for  four  months 
editor  of  the  Saturday  Chronicle  of  New  Haven;  was  a 
reporter  for  the  New  Haven  Palladium  throughout  Senior 
year;  also  worked  for  the  New  Haven  Union  and  Register, 
as  well  as  being  correspondent  for  the  Boston  Globe,  New 
York  Sun,  Philadelphia  Press  and  other  papers.  In  Febru- 
ary, 1902,  on  board  the  Roosevelt  special,  he  made  a  record 
trip  to  Boston  (two  hours  and  forty- three  minutes)  for  the 
Boston  Globe.  He  was  the  only  newspaper  man  aboard,  the 
rest  of  the  party  being  Mr.  Cortelyou,  Mr.  Roosevelt,  and 
secret  service  and  railway  officials.  He  was  also  during  his 
college  course  a  member  of  the  choir  of  St.  John's  Church 
and  of  the  Newman  Club,  a  Catholic  club  organized  in  1903. 
Concerning  his  recent  life  he  writes : 

"On  leaving  college  I  simply  continued  my  work  on  the 
staff  of  the  New  Haven  Palladium,  advancing  to  the  desk  of 
city  editor  on  August  29,  1904.  I  continued  in  that 
capacity  until  November  5,  1905,  when  I  came  to  Waterbury 
to  accept  a  more  promising  position  with  the  Waterbury 
Republican.  The  paper  was  then  in  the  midst  of  plans  for 
a  special  anniversary  edition  and  I  was  at  once  assigned  to 
the  completion  of  that.  I  wrote  several  articles  not  only  on 
the  institutions  of  Waterbury  but  the  towns  of  the  Nauga- 
tuck  valley,  including  Winsted,  Torrington,  Thomaston, 


OF  GRADUATES  47 

Watertown,  Naugatuck,  Seymour  and  Derby.  These  stories 
included  descriptions  of  the  places,  studies  of  their  resources, 
manufactures,  and  other  features  and  were  freely  illus- 
trated. In  addition  my  work  included  the  preparation  of 
scores  of  biographical  sketches  of  prominent  men  throughout 
the  Naugatuck  valley,  and  the  issue  was  one  of  the  most 
notable  in  Connecticut  newspaper  annals.  It  was  edited  by 
Mr.  W.  M.  Lathrop.  Advertising  soliciting  was  another 
part  of  the  work  and  included  the  chasing  down  of  copy  for 
a  large  number  of  large  and  small  contracts. 

"Taking  up  reporting  again  at  the  close  of  this  work,  I 
became  city  editor  of  the  Republican  January  20,  1906,  and 
was  advanced  to  night  editor  November  30,  1908,  and  to 
managing  editor  February  1,  1910. 

"My  residence  until  coming  to  Waterbury  was  at  my  home, 
226  Washington  Avenue,  New  Haven.  In  Waterbury  it 
was  successively  at  the  following  addresses:  21  Leavenworth 
Street,  Farmington  Avenue,  29  Cooke  Street,  and  70  Linden 
Street.  Since  my  marriage  it  has  been  at  237  Willow  Street. 

"In  addition  to  my  connection  with  the  Republican  I  am 
Waterbury  correspondent  for  The  Metal  Industry,  New 
York,  and  press  agent  for  the  Poli  theaters  (except  Poli's) 
in  Waterbury. 

"In  October  and  November  of  1909  I  made  a  trip  to 
Bermuda,  stopping  at  the  Hamilton  Hotel  and  seeing  the 
places  of  interest  on  the  islands  usually  pointed  out  to 
tourists,  as  well  as  some  not  usually  pointed  out,  such  as  the 
newspaper  offices.  Was  entertained  by  the  former  mayor 
of  St.  George's,  Mr.  Hayward,  one  of  the  characters  of  the 
islands  closely  identified  with  their  last  half  century's  growth 
and  improvement.  It  was  he  who  proved  of  most  assistance 
to  Professor  Verrill  of  Yale,  who  is  the  author  of  the  princi- 
pal book  on  Bermuda  extant."

Subsequent  to  our  financial  panic  of  the  fall  of  1907,  the 
value  of  Chinese  exchange  became  so  largely  affected  that 
our  largest  market  (China)  imported  no  lumber,  and  on 
March  1,  1908,  my  brother  and  I  gave  up  this  business.  We 
separated,  he  taking  up  the  marine  hardware  business  estab-

miles  above  here,  where  I  bought  eighty  acres  of  land  at

it  with  fruit  trees.  I  was  joined  November  1,  1908,  by  Henry 
K.  Love,  '04,  to  whom  I  sold  a  half  interest  in  the  place, 
which  we  called  Bear  Springs  Ranch.  We  lived  there  just  a 
year  together  developing  it  until  almost  forty  acres  were 
under  cultivation.  In  the  meanwhile  my  brother  had  added 
contractors'  supplies  to  the  marine  hardware  business  and 
had  extended  it  so  widely  as  to  need  my  help,  and  consequent- 
ly Henry  Love  and  I  secured  a  superintendent  for  the  ranch

ation he  writes : 

"For  the  summer  following  graduation  I  served  as  stenog- 
rapher to  Hon.  Ernest  M.  Roberts,  United  States  representa- 
tive from  the  Seventh  Massachusetts  District,  during  an 
exciting  campaign  for  his  renomination  and  election — a 
successful  one. 

"The  succeeding  fall  I  went  to  Rollins  College,  Winter 
Park,  Fla.,  as  head  of  the  commercial  department,  and  coach 
of  the  first  football  team  of  that  institution.  While  there 
rowed  No.  5  on  the  winning  crew  in  the  first  eight-oar  shell 
race  ever  held  in  the  Southern  States,  at  Tampa,  Fla.  The 
year  was  exceedingly  pleasant,  but  after  returning  North  in 
the  spring  of  1905  I  married  and,  not  caring  to  take  my  wife 
so  far  from  home,  I  resigned  my  position  at  Rollins. 

"From  September,  1905,  through  June,  1907,  I  was  at  the 
head  of  the  commercial  department  of  the  Edward  Little 
High  School  at  Auburn,  Me. 

"In  September,  1907,  I  went  to  Fitchburg,  Mass.,  as  head

place,  remaining  there  three  years.  During  my  last  year  I 
was  president  of  the  Fitchburg  Teachers'  Association. 

"In  January,  1910,  I  took  the  examinations  for  a  position 
as  instructor  in  commercial  branches  in  the  Boston  public 
schools.  Passing,  with  the  highest  rank  of  those  taking  the 
examination,  I  was  in  June,  1910,  appointed  instructor  in 
bookkeeping  at  the  English  High  School  of  Boston,  which 
position  I  now  hold. 

"In  January,  1911,  I  was  elected  president  of  the  Track

Bennett  has  been  a  clerk  in  the  law  firm  of  Atkins,  Collins 
&  Toney  of  New  York  City  since  May  1,  1908,  and  writes: 

"After  graduating  in  1904,  being  in  poor  health,  I 
remained  in  New  Haven  until  June,  1906,  when  I  came  to 
New  York  with  the  intention  of  studying  law  at  Columbia 
University;  but  here,  my  health  still  being  poor,  I  was 
advised  by  my  physicians  not  to  enter  upon  the  study  of 
law,  nor  follow  any  pursuit  that  was  essentially  literary  in 
its  nature,  until  I  had  fully  recovered  from  a  threatened 
nervous  breakdown.  Acting  upon  the  advice  of  my  physi- 
cians, therefore,  I,  in  July,  1906,  began  work  with  the  Afro- 
American  Realty  Company  of  New  York  City,  in  the 
capacity  of  soliciting  agent.  In  November  of  the  same  year 
I  was  chosen  a  director  of  the  same  company,  to  fill  a  vacancy 
that  had  occurred  during  the  summer  of  1906.  In  January, 
1908,  I  ceased  active  connection  with  this  company  and  com- 
menced the  study  of  law  at  the  New  York  Law  School,  the 
secretary  and  dean  of  which  are  both  Yale  men.  On  the 
first  of  May,  1908,  I  commenced  a  clerkship  in  the  law  office 
of  Atkins,  Collins  &  Toney,  and  am  still  connected  with  the 
same  office  in  the  practice  of  law."

second  dispute  appointment.  He  is  unmarried. 

Boggs  is  a  physician.  Concerning  his  life  since  gradua-

"During  the  summer  following  graduation,  I  spent  my 
time  looking  for  a  job  or,  in  other  words,  I  had  a  vacation 
until  September  5,  1904,  when  I  secured  a  position  as  clerk, 
in  Chicago,  111.,  with  Sears,  Roebuck  &  Company,  a  large  mail 
order  house,  with  whom  I  remained  seven  weeks  and  then 
resigned  and  immediately  went  to  St.  Louis,  where,  while 
looking  for  a  position,  I  was  taken  seriously  ill  and  remained 
inactive  until  the  following  February.  I  then  entered  the 
Jamaica  Training  School  for  teachers  at  Jamaica,  Long 
Island,  N.  Y.,  and  secured  my  license  after  one  year's  resi- 


56  BIOGRAPHIES 

dence  at  that  school.  Ill  health  again  kept  me  inactive  for 
eight  months,  seven  of  which  I  spent  traveling  about  in 
England,  France,  Belgium,  Austria  and  Switzerland.  The 
most  noteworthy  incident  in  my  travels  was  the  fact  that  I 
was  taken  with  appendicitis  while  in  Carlsbad. 

"Upon  my  return  to  America  on  September  27,  1906,  I 
entered  the  Long  Island  College  Hospital  with  the  class  of 
1910,  and  was  graduated  from  there  on  June  1,  1910,  with 
the  degree  of  M.  D.  I  received  the  Dudley  Memorial  Gold 
Medal  for  the  best  medical  clinical  report  of  a  medical  case 
in  the  wards  of  the  hospital  and  a  special  diploma  for  excel- 
lence in  physical  diagnosis.  In  a  competitive  examination 
held  in  February,  1910,  for  interneship  at  the  Long  Island 
College  Hospital,  containing  five  hundred  beds,  I  secured  first 
place  and  chose  the  first  surgical  division,  the  term  of  service 
being  from  March  1,  1910,  to  March  1,  1911.  During  the 
last  four  years  I  did  substitute  teaching  in  the  public  schools 
of  New  York  City  when  not  attending  my  medical  school. 
During  the  summer  of  1909  I  did  resident  substitute  work  of 
interne  at  the  Long  Island  College  Hospital. 

"In  the  latter  part  of  February,  1910,  on  account  of  ill- 
ness, I  was  compelled  to  resign  my  interneship  at  the  hospital. 
In  June,  1910, 1  took  my  State  Board  Medical  Examinations 
for  New  York  and  New  Jersey  and  received  licenses  to  prac- 
tice medicine  and  surgery  in  both  states.  On  October  26, 
1910,  I  left  Brooklyn,  N.  Y.,  for  California  where  I  shall 
remain  for  an  indefinite  period.  I  am  not  engaged  in  prac- 
tice out  here  but  am  here  for  my  health."

large  leather  chair  surrounded  by  millions  of  volumes  of 
books  and  write  my  autobiography.  This  time  seemed  in 
the  dim  distance,  when  I  ought  to  be  gray  and  have  an 
eight  dollar  set  of  teeth;  but  here  I  am  out  of  college  six 
years,  with  a  few  gray  hairs  and  no  false  teeth,  now  writing 
my  autobiography,  which  I  trust  will  be  read  by  countless 
thousands  in  generations  to  come. 

"I  have  not  gotten  used  to  writing  autobiographies,  so  if 
I  pass  lightly  over  some  of  the  wonderful  things  I  have  accom- 
plished in  the  past  few  years,  I  trust  my  readers  will  pardon 
my  shyness.

since  with  the  exception  of  my  meteoric  career  in  college  and 
in  preparation  for  college,  when  my  legal  residence  was 
moved  to  Lakeville,  Conn.  I  use  the  word  'legal'  as  that  is 
the  spot  where  I  contracted  the  bills. 

"After  graduation  from  college,  before  the  world  at  large 
learned  of  my  great  ability,  I  accepted  the  very  responsible 
position  of  back  sight  man  on  a  surveying  corps  that  worked 
in  the  mines,  not  because  I  knew  anything  about  the  back 
sight  position,  but  it  was  because  I  thought  that  I  could  lift 
the  calling  of  the  back  sight  man. 

"Nobody  seemed  to  appreciate  the  great  work  I  was  doing 
until  'Ted'  Clucas  came  to  visit  me  one  time  in  Scranton. 
To  show  how  brave  I  was  and  the  dangers  I  encountered  in 
this  hazardous  profession,  I  took  him  down  in  the  mines  and 
got  him  so  terrified  at  the  terrible  risks  run  and  the  large  rats 
encountered  in  the  mines  that  I  took  about  two  inches  off  his 
stature.  He  returned  to  New  York  and,  to  show  how  brave 
he  was,  told  everybody  that  I  had  Columbus  looking  like  a 
scared  child  on  a  dark  night  for  bravery. 

"After  most  everybody  that  had  been  employed  on  the 
various  corps  in  the  mines  had  been  killed  through  mine 
disasters,  at  the  earnest  solicitation  of  the  populus  of  this 
great  Commonwealth  of  Pennsylvania,  I  gave  up  my  calling 
as  back  sight  man  and  looked  for  other  fields  to  conquer. 

"After  about  one  month  of  looking,  I  decided  to  take  up 
the  management  of  the  Spencer  Heater  Company,  at  which 
job  I  am  still  working.  The  chief  reason  I  felt  that  I  was 
adapted  to  this  most  honorable  position  was  due  to  my  great 
reputation  as  a  'hot  air  artist'  during  my  college  career. 

"Since  undertaking  this  work  most  of  my  time  has  been

spent  in  correspondence  with  Attorneys  Parks  and  Munson, 
getting  them  to  collect  past  due  accounts  for  me,  to  be  sure 
never  with  the  idea  of  getting  any  money  back  for  the 
Spencer  Heater  Company,  but  simply  to  inconvenience  the 
firms  that  were  debtors  to  the  Spencer  Heater  Company. 
These  attorneys  have  always  been  most  successful  in  the  col- 
lection of  my  accounts,  although  the  money  received  by  the 
Heater  Company  on  all  occasions  has  been  on  the  right 
hand  side  of  the  decimal  point.  All  the  figures  on  the  left 
hand  side  of  the  decimal  point,  according  to  their  rules,  are 
held  by  the  attorney  for  fees. 

"I  cannot  refrain  from  calling  the  Class'  attention  to  the 
results  that  can  be  obtained  by  the  use  of  either  of  these 
attorneys  on  any  legal  action  relative  to  the  collection  of 
past  due  accounts. 

"Desiring  to  serve  my  country  I  enlisted  in  the  Thirteenth 
Regiment  of  the  National  Guard  of  Pennsylvania  as  a  pri- 
vate, and  served  one  year  in  that  honorable  capacity.  Due 
to  a  fine  tailor,  I  secured,  after  the  first  year's  service,  the 
position  of  second  lieutenant  and  arose  by  leaps  and  bounds 
from  that  office  to  the  position  of  captain,  which  I  now  hold 
with  honor  to  myself  and  the  great  Commonwealth  of  Penn- 
sylvania, which  I  just  spoke  of  above  in  the  first  few  pages  of 
my  life's  history. 

"A  complete  history  of  my  travels  will  be  found  in  the 
second  volume  of  my  autobiography  which  will  be  published 
next  year.  However,  at  this  time  it  would  not  seem  out  of 
place  to  make  a  few  remarks  relative  to  the  experience  and 
noteworthy  events  connected  with  some  of  the  expeditions  I 
have  made  in  the  Far  East.  Most  of  the  expeditions  termi- 
nated in  the  East  at  New  York,  where  on  numerous  occasions 
I  shoot  that  most  elusive  animal  the  Bazoon.  There  have 
been  a  good  many  hunters  shooting  the  Bazoon  in  the  past, 
but  the  species  seem  to  multiply  with  greater  rapidity  than

the  elusive  jackrabbit.  Some  members  of  the  Class  have 
endeavored  at  times  I  have  known  to  exterminate  the  species, 
but  they  never  succeeded  very  well,  although  the  attempt  has 
been  most  laudable. 

"The  most  noteworthy  incidents  that  ever  occurred  on 
these  travels  are  the  class  banquets,  all  of  which  have  been 
most  successful  affairs  from  everybody's  standpoint,  even 
including  the  man  who  came  all  the  way  from  San  Francisco 
to  secure  the  long  distance  cup,  but  was  defeated  in  that 
memorable  trip  of  Bronson  Warren's  from  heaven  to  earth."

Chapin  has  been  associate  editor  of  the  Waterbury  Ameri- 
can since  March,  1910.  He  writes: 

"My  history  since  leaving  Yale  is  simply  the  story  of  an 
endless  struggle  to  get  to  press  on  time,  an  operation  quite 
sufficient  in  itself  to  keep  the  performer  from  the  pangs  of 
ennui,  but  offering  few  features  of  interest  to  the  casual 
reader.  In  March,  1905,  I  went  to  the  Boston  office  of  the 
Associated  Press  as  night  filing  editor,  remaining  there  until 
October,  1906,  when  I  took  the  position  of  sporting  editor 
on  the  Waterbury  American.  Since  that  time  I  have  been 
successively  telegraph  editor,  city  editor  and  associate  editor. 
My  travels  have  been  mainly  confined  to  an  annual  pursuit 
of  the  football  team  to  Cambridge,  or  Princeton  and  West 
Point,  and  a  swift  'hike'  to  the  nearest  Green  Mountain 
trout  brook  when  a  vacation  offered  itself.  As  for  politics — 
a  newspaper  man  is  happier  and  more  useful  if  he  keeps  well 
on  the  outside."

writes : 

"I  have  been  in  A.  W.  Erickson  Advertising  Agency 
since  graduation  and  am  now  secretary  of  it  and  junior 
partner.  In  1909  I  decided  that  the  trouble  with  American 
politics  lay  in  their  needless  complexity  and  that  the  right 
route  to  political  reform  lay  in  the  direction  of  simplifying 
the  work  of  the  people  down  to  a  point  where  the  politician, 
or  'political  expert,'  would  have  no  advantage  over  the 
ordinary  citizen.  I  wrote  a  pamphlet  entitled  'The  Short 
Ballot  Idea,'  published  articles  in  the  Outlook  and 
Saturday  Evening  Post  and  started  'The  Short  Ballot 
Organization'  with  Woodrow  Wilson,  Norman  Hapgood, 
Winston  Churchill  and  Ben  B.  Lindsey  among  its  officers.  I 
became  its  secretary  and  executive  officer  and  am  running  a 
publicity  bureau  in  New  York  City.  The  movement  has 
spread  very  rapidly  and  is  changing  the  direction  of  reform 
efforts  all  over  the  country.  Three  governors,  Hughes,  Fort 
and  Hay,  have  declared  for  it  and  legislation  reducing  the 
number  of  elective  offices  is  pending  in  several  legislatures. 
Charter  revision  committees  write  me  for  advice  and  news- 
paper editors  eat  out  of  my  hand.  I'm  having  the  time  of 
my  life."

since  graduation  writes: 

"Immediately  after  leaving  college,  I  suggested  to  Mr. 
W.  L.  Gushing,  headmaster  of  Westminster  School,  Sims- 
bury,  Conn.,  that  I  could  teach  German  because  I  knew  more 
about  it  than  a  kid  who  knew  nothing,  and  because  I  could 
keep  half  a  lap  ahead  of  the  class.  I  was  not  found  out,  and 
kept  on  raising  the  ante  until  the  spring  of  1908.  From 
September,  1908,  till  June,  1909,  I  lubricated  the  mind  of  a 
certain  Standard  Oil  heir,  and  in  the  doing  traveled  in  Italy? 
France  and  Egypt,  enjoying  the  experience,  then  no  longer 
novel  to  me,  of  having  Wernicke  pay  the  freight.  I  recuper- 
ated in  Canada  during  the  summer  of  1909,  and  in  the  fall 
went  to  Farmington,  Conn.,  as  tutor.  In  March,  1910,  I 
sailed  with  the  young  hopeful  and  his  family  to  Italy,  and 
was  with  them  there  till  the  first  of  June.  For  two  weeks 
thereafter  Morgan  Goetchius,  '04,  and  I  cruised  in  England. 
On  June  16, 1  sailed  for  Costa  Rica  to  spend  the  summer  with 
my  family  and  pursue  possible  plots  for  current  fiction  into 
the  wilds  of  Central  America."

"Upon  securing  my  ticket  of  leave  (i.e.  diploma),  rest  from 
my  labors,  particularly  arduous  during  Senior  year  (ten 
hours  per  week — mostly  lectures — plus  one  baseball  game  at 
Lighthouse  Point),  required  me  to  flee  to  Colorado,  where  I 
should  probably  have  been  yet  had  not  the  Republican  candi- 
date for  president  personally  requested  me  to  return  to  my 
polling  place — Hartford.  Whereupon  an  insane  desire  to 
work  pervaded  my  system  and  after  several  offers  of  jobs  as 
an  office  boy,  I  chose  the  least  active  and  the  Travelers  Insur- 
ance Company  handed  me  some  four  and  one  half  by  six  and 
one  quarter  inch  cards  to  sort.  It  so  happened  that  after 
four  years  the  company  was  forced  to  quit  its  quarters  and 
I  became  a  'prime  mover.'  I  bossed  the  Dagos  so  well,  ap- 
parently, moving  furniture  and  such  truck,  that  I  bossed  the 
clerks  awhile  and  was  then  given  the  job  of  bossing  the 
managers  in  the  field  from  my  eyrie  on  the  seventh  floor,  a 
stunt  I  am  still  indifferently  perhaps  performing.  From 
the  liability  department  I  passed  into  the  boiler  and  fly  wheel 
division  (which  division,  by  the  way,  is  formally  and  techni- 
cally named  The  Travelers  Indemnity  Company).  But  here 
(or  there)  I  am  properly  labeled,  I  suppose,  casualty  insur-

Henry  Carlton  Courten 

Address,  32  South  Johnson  Avenue,  Richmond  Hill,  Long  Island, 

New  York. 

Born  May  3,  1879,  in  Palmyra,  N.  Y.,  the  son  of  Robert 
Courten,  a  farmer  (deceased),  and  Bertha  (McGuire)  Courten. 
He  prepared  at  the  Marion  Collegiate  Institute  of  Marion,  N.  Y., 
and  entered  college  in  the  fall  of  Sophomore  year.  He  is  un- 
married. 

Courten  is  practicing  medicine  in  Richmond  Hill,  Long

assistant  in  orthopedic  surgery  at  the  Hospital  for  Rup- 
tured and  Crippled.  He  writes: 

"After  graduating  from  Yale  in  1904,  I  went  abroad  and 
traveled  through  Ireland  and  England,  after  which  I  re- 
turned to  New  Haven,  and  entered  the  Yale  Graduate  School 
in  the  department  of  physiological  chemistry.  Here  I 
remained  one  year,  receiving  a  Master  of  Arts  degree  in 
1905.  My  experience  in  the  laboratory  convinced  me  that 
my  bent  was  medicine  instead  of  teaching,  so,  acting  on  the 
advice  of  LaFayette  B.  Mendel  of  the  chemistry  department, 
I  decided  to  enter  that  profession,  and  accordingly  in  the  fall 
of  1905  I  was  enrolled  as  a  student  at  the  Bellevue  Medical 
College,  New  York  City.  During  the  next  four  years  I 
studied  at  Bellevue,  the  University  of  Vienna,  and  at  the 
University  of  Munich,  spending  a  year  at  the  two  latter 
institutions ;  and  in  the  spring  of  1909  I  received  my  degree 
of  M.  D.  from  Bellevue.  During  the  last  eight  months  of

1909  I  served  as  an  interne  at  the  New  York  Hospital  for 
Ruptured  and  Crippled,  and  in  the  fall  of  1909  I  began  the 
practice  of  medicine  at  Richmond  Hill,  Long  Island.  Here, 
after  a  somewhat  wandering  and  always  impecunious  career, 
I  find  myself  prospering  and  fairly  contented  with  the  pros- 
pects that  reveal  themselves  before  me."

Chicago,  111.,  December  1,  1907,  and  studied  high  finance  in 
the  office  of  W.  R.  Holligan  &  Company,  15  The  Rookery, 
Chicago,  from  December  15,  1907,  to  July  1,  1908,  and 
learned  everything  concerning  stocks,  bonds,  wheat,  wheat 
privileges  and  corn,  during  that  time.  I,  however,  could  not 
agree  with  Mr.  E.  H.  Harriman,  now  deceased,  which  was 
decidedly  detrimental  to  the  study  of  high  finance  as  practiced 
in  Wall  Street,  New  York  City. 

"I  was  appointed  superintendent  of  track  elevation  for  the 
Chicago  Junction  Railway  Company  on  July  1,  1908,  and 
still  hold  the  job.  I  tried  to  break  Mr.  J.  A.  Patten  in  his 
corner  of  May  wheat,  1909.  In  this  I  was  unsuccessful,  as 
statistics  will  prove.  I  abandoned  the  study  of  high  finance 
soon  after,  until  such  time  as  Mr.  E.  H.  Harriman  departed 
this  life  and  Mr.  J.  A.  Patten  went  insane !"

Avenue,  Cleveland)  sheltered  me  until  I  established  a  hall  of 
my  own  and  settled  down  at  my  present  address.  I  courted 
the  law  at  Western  Reserve  University,  this  town,  for  two 
years,  was  elected  to  Phi  Delta  Phi  and  crossed  the  Ohio  Bar 
in  June,  1906,  a  fully  fledged  (fleeced?)  LL.  B.  I  practiced 
for  ten  days,  then  "snooked"  into  the  Garfield  Savings  Bank 
as  clearance  kid — from  which  institution  I've  been  unable 
since  to  snook  out.  Three  years  ago  (1907)  I  ranked  as 
the  youngest  cashier  in  Cleveland.  Next  December  I  will 
have  served  six  years  in  Troop  A,  the  sixth  year  as  corporal. 
I  won  state  marksman's  badge  three  years  and  the  expert's 
badge  one  year.  In  1905  I  spent  two  weeks  in  Western 
Louisiana  with  Allen  Lovejoy,  '04,  and  in  1906,  six  weeks 
in  the  Yellowstone  and  on  the  Pacific  Coast  with  the  same  old 
party  and  his  brother.  There  have  been  sundry  summer 
trips  to  Canada  and  other  kinds  of  trips  to  New  York, 
Chicago  and  such  places.  The  only  noteworthy  incidents  on 
these  trips  were  meetings  with  '04  men.  A  couple  of  years 
ago  I  altered  the  monotony  of  my  life  by  a  most  wise  alliance, 
in  consequence  of  which  I've  quit  all  smoking  and  drinking, 
and  taken  to  cutting  the  grass.  Also  have  started  the  pre-

"Have  taught  the  same  class  in  Sunday  school  for  six 
years.  (Is  that  a  slur  on  my  teaching  or  a  credit  to  the 
class?)  I  was  sent  as  delegate  in  May,  1910,  from  the 
Euclid  Avenue  Congregational  Church  to  the  National  Con- 
gress of  the  Laymen's  Missionary  Movement  at  Chicago.

"The  first  two  years  after  graduation  were  spent  at  the 
Hotchkiss  School,  Lakeville,  Conn.,  where  I  taught  physics 
and  mathematics,  having  graduated  there  in  1900.  I 
resigned  at  Hotchkiss  at  the  end  of  my  second  year  there,  in 
June,  1906,  to  accept  an  attractive  offer  in  business  to  begin 
work  in  the  fall  of  1906.  The  summer  of  1906  I  spent  at 
Colorado  Springs  tutoring  a  boy  for  Hotchkiss.  In  the  fall

for  Wm.  H.  Bristol,  M.  E.,  selling  a  new  line  of  electric 
pyrometers  for  the  measurement  of  high  temperatures.  I

New  England,  New  York,  Pennsylvania,  Ohio,  Michigan, 
Illinois,  Colorado,  Utah,  Montana,  Alabama,  etc.,  visiting

Hermon  Charles  Groman 

Residence,  26  Rimbach  Avenue,  Hammond,  Ind. 

Business  Address,  402  Hammond  Building,  Hammond,  Ind. 

Born  August  18,  1882,  in  Odebolt,  Iowa,  the  son  of  August 
Groman,  M.  D.,  of  Odebolt,  and  Lena  (Beckman)  Groman.  He 
prepared  at  the  Odebolt  High  School,  and  in  college  received  a 
high  oration  appointment;  was  a  member  of  the  Track  Squad 
and  was  vice-president  of  the  Iowa  Yale  Club. 

He  was  married  on  June  24,  1908,  in  Chicago,  111.,  to  Miss 
Eunice  Kellar  Costello,  Lewis  Institute  '07,  daughter  of  Mr.  and 
Mrs.  Joseph  Costello.  They  have  one  child,  William  Kellar,  born 
October  16,  1909. 

Groman  is  physician  and  surgeon  for  the  Standard  Steel 
Car  Company,  Reid  Murdock,  and  the  Illinois  Central  Rail- 
road, and  is  vice-president  of  the  Ideal  Marblite  Company. 
He  received  the  degree  of  M.  D.  from  Rush  Medical  College 
in  1907,  and  the  degree  of  B.  S.  from  the  University  of 
Chicago  in  1905.  He  writes: 

"After  a  short  vacation  at  home  in  God's  country,  'Iowa,' 
as  assistant  physician  to  my  father,  I  went  to  Chicago. 
Home  food,  'corn  belt  air'  and  auto-pacing  fortunately 
enabled  me  to  win  a  place  on  the  Chicago  Athletic  Club 
Olympic  Track  Team,  a  congenial  bunch  of  ex-university 
stars.  The  team  made  good  at  St.  Louis,  as  well  as  from 
coast  to  coast  later,  and  many  were  the  delightful  trips  that 
were  taken,  well  seasoned  with  medals,  cups  and  records,  to 
say  nothing  of  flirtations  and  rough  house.  In  the  fall  I

entered  the  long  grind  Marathon,  'medicine,'  tore  off  a  few 
laps  in  special  science  at  Chicago  University,  with  some  track 
work  on  the  side,  including  Michigan's  scalp,  and  finished  at 
Rush  Medical  College.  The  call  of  suffering  humanity  and 
the  elusive  dollar  led  me  to  Indiana,  especially  the  elusive 
dollar  which  grows  on  low  bushes  in  Hammond.  This  rapidly 
growing  city  is  north  of  the  literature  and  farm  belt.  It  is 
just  across  the  line  from  Chicago,  which  will  itself  soon  be 
surpassed  by  the  Hammond-Gary  district  with  150,000  souls 
already.  Being  broke  at  first,  I  could  lose  nothing,  so  I 
braved  the  panic,  and  now  I  can't  count  my  money,  it  goes 
too  fast.  At  our  Indiana  Club  picnic  at  George  Ade's  villa 
last  week  it  was  said  that  'Indiana  is  full  of  great  people  who 
have  left  it' ;  so,  true  to  tradition,  our  son  Bill  is  'presidential 
timber'  and  good  for  a  'Y.'  Professionally  I  am  well  located, 
having  opportunities  for  considerable  surgery,  especially 
accident  work,  as  one  of  the  industries  for  which  I  am  surgeon 
employs  5,000  to  7,000  men.  It  was  a  big  disappointment  to 
miss  the  class  reunion,  but  the  above  work  and  an  impending 
real  estate  deal  kept  me  home.  Here's  to  'O^!" 

Groman  is  a  member  of  the  Chicago  Athletic  Association,

Cornelius  Hall,  Yale  75  S.,  of  52  West  Ninth  Street,  New  York 
City,  and  Marie  Suzette  de  Marigny  (Thomas)  Hall.  He  pre-

colloquy  appointment,  and  was  a  member  of  the  Freshman  Foot- 
ball Team,  the  Yale  Corinthian  Yacht  Club,  the  University  Club, 
and  Delta  Kappa  Epsilon.

He  was  married  on  November  6,  1Q09,  in  Cincinnati,  Ohio,  to 
Miss  Christine  Collings,  daughter  of  Crittenden  I.  Ceilings. 
They  have  no  children. 

Hall  has  been  vice-president  of  the  Atlanta  Terra  Cotta 
Company  since  October,  1908.  He  writes: 

"Immediately  after  graduation  I  joined  the  Bread 
Winners'  Association  and  took  a  job  in  the  draughting  room 
of  the  Perth  Amboy  Terra  Cotta  Company  at  the  ancient  and 
honorable  salary  of  five  dollars  per.  My  first  few  months  in 
the  draughting  room  were  spent  in  carrying  on  a  heavy 
foreign  correspondence  with  Joe  Gray,  '04,  in  Cuba  and 
George  Victor,  '04,  in  Germany.  After  about  a  year  in  the 
draughting  room  I  was  transferred  to  the  sales  department 
and  started  out  to  land  all  the  terra  cotta  contracts  in  the 
United  States.  My  first  attempt  to  land  a  job  was  in  Phila- 
delphia. When  the  office  boy  told  me  that  the  boss  was  out  it 
was  a  great  relief  to  me.  In  1906  the  Perth  Amboy  Company 
was  merged  with  several  other  concerns  and  I  was  then  trans- 
ferred to  the  New  York  office ;  later  I  went  to  Boston  and  in 
1907  opened  up  a  southern  office  for  the  company  in  Atlanta, 
Ga.  In  1908  the  Atlantic  Company  took  over  the  Atlanta 
Terra  Cotta  Company  and  I  went  with  that  company  as 
general  sales  agent  and  in  January,  1909,  was  elected  vice- 
president  of  the  Atlanta  Terra  Cotta  Company.  It  is  a 
source  of  continual  regret  to  me  that,  owing  to  the  fact  that 
I  am  living  in  Atlanta,  I  am  out  of  touch  with  the  class. 
There  is  not  one  of  our  men  here.  I  occasionally  have  a 
chance  to  see  a  man  as  he  passes  through  and  owing  to  the 
fact  that  this  state  is  in  the  throes  of  state  wide  prohibition 
am  able  to  be  of  considerable  relief.  (Joe  Gray  and  George 
Mohlnan  please  note  the  last  sentence  carefully  if  they  con- 
template a  Southern  tour.)"

Raymond  Thompson  Hill 

Address,  209  Farnam  Hall,  Yale  University,  New  Haven,  Conn. 

Born  January  11,  1883,  in  North  Branford,  Conn.,  the  son  of 
Alden  Hopson  Hill  (died  April  9,  1908),  and  Sarah  Elvira 
(Page)  Hill.  He  prepared  at  Hopkins  Grammar  School,  New 
Haven,  Conn.,  and  at  Williston  Seminary,  and  in  college  won  a 
DeForest  scholarship  and  was  a  member  of  Phi  Beta  Kappa. 
He  is  unmarried. 

Hill  has  been  an  instructor  in  French  at  Yale  since  Sep- 
tember, 1908.  He  received  the  degree  of  M.  A.  from  Yale 
in  1905  and  writes : 

"The  first  year  after  graduation,  attracted  by  a  paltry 
scholarship,  and  being  still  undecided  about  a  future  occupa- 
tion, I  remained  at  Yale  continuing  the  study  of  Romance 
languages.  In  September,  1905,  I  went  to  Cheltenham 
Military  Academy  at  Elkins  Park,  Pa.,  supposedly  for  the 
purpose  of  teaching  some  French  and  German,  but  really,  as 
I  learned  later,  to  inflict  military  discipline  upon  incorrigi- 
ble youth.  After  a  year  of  varied  and  exceedingly  interest- 
ing experiences,  I  spent  the  following  summer  as  a  private 
tutor  in  Northern  New  York  and  on  Cape  Cod.  The 
following  autumn,  1906,  I  became  instructor  in  Romance 
languages  at  Syracuse  University,  Syracuse,  N.  Y.,  where  I 
remained  two  years.  These  two  years  at  a  'co-ed'  institution 
were  a  novel  and  very  pleasant  experience,  but  when  in  the 
spring  of  1908  I  was  offered  an  instructorship  in  French  at 
the  Alma  Mater,  I  naturally  did  not  hesitate  about  accepting 
it.  Since  September,  1908,  I  have  been  teaching  here  in 
New  Haven,  combining  this  with  study  in  the  graduate 
school.  During  the  summers  of  1907  and  1909  I  was  in 
Europe;  the  first  time  on  a  general  trip  through  France, 
Switzerland  and  Italy,  and  the  second  almost  entirely  in 
France,  mostly  at  Paris,  where  I  devoted  some  of  my  time  to 
photographing  and  studying  manuscripts  of  early  French 
literature."

"A  few  days  after  graduation  from  Yale  I  was  taken  ill

at  the  same  time  serving  a  clerkship  in  a  law  office,  where  I

"Since  leaving  Yale  I  have  been  steadily  employed  in  the 
American  Trading  Company.  I  started  there  in  the 
accountant's  department,  cleaning  out  ink  wells  and  adding 
columns  of  figures,  at  a  salary  that  you  couldn't  see  with 
the  naked  eye.  The  first  thing  I  learned  was  how  little  a 
college  education  helps  a  man  for  the  two  duties  mentioned 
above,  as  well  as  others  not  spoken  of.  I  also  spent  a  few 
months  learning  how  unimportant  a  college  graduate  is 
anyway.  I  think  the  learning  of  that  was  a  good  step  in 
advance.

Kerr  is  an  attorney-at-law,  having  received  the  degree  of 
LL.  B.  at  the  Western  University  of  Pennsylvania  in  June, 
1907.  He  writes: 

"I  left  college  in  June  and  began  to  descend  rapidly  to 
earth.  What  winged  me  was  the  discovery  that  every 
mucker  I  rubbed  up  against  could  do  about  everything  I 
could  do,  better  and  in  just  half  the  time,  a  discovery  which 
each  true  Eli  makes,  I  believe.  I  commenced  the  study  of  law 
in  the  fall  and  kept  at  it  hard,  keeping  in  physical  trim  by 
long  week-end  walks  and  strenuous  camping  trips  in  North- 
western Ontario  in  the  summer.  I  was  admitted  to  the  bar 
on  June  12,  1907,  just  in  time  to  go  back  to  Triennial  with 
the  consciousness  that  I  had  at  least  a  chance  to  be  somebody. 
The  success  of  some  of  my  classmates  in  the  three  years  and 
the  failure  of  others  both  inspired  me.  I  went  back  prepared 
to  slaughter  the  first  poor  devil  of  a  lawyer  who  crossed 
swords  with  me,  but  unfortunately  no  victim  offered  for  quite 
a  while.  In  the  meantime  I  spent  a  delightful  year  or  so 
playing  the  old  familiar  game  of  huckle  buckle,  made  famous 
by  Tonda  and  'Trot'  Lewis,  '04,  all  the  while  hearing  wonder- 
ful reports  of  great  cases  won  by  classmates  in  distant  cities 
and  of  the  fabulous  honoraria  received  for  their  services.  My 
life  has  been  uneventful,  as  most  young  attorneys'  lives  are. 
It  is  a  game  of  patience  and  plugging.  The  great  objection 
I  have  to  law  is  the  fact  that  you  cannot  seek  work  and  how- 
ever anxious  you  are  to  chew  things  up  you  must  wait  to  have 
the  fodder  brought  to  your  stall.  God  bless  the  author  of 
the  Honorable  Peter  Stirling ! 

"The  Legal  Aid  Society  of  Pittsburg,  in  which  a  number 
of  Yale  men  are  interested,  served  as  an  outlet  for  my  excess 
legal  energy  during  the  formative  period  and  now  a  few 
soft-hearted  clients  have  found  the  way  to  my  office  and  the 
great  battle  is  on  in  earnest."

much  of  my  time  has  been  spent  in  study,  the  occupation

"The  summer  of  1904,  after  graduation,  was  spent  at  the 
St.  Louis  Exposition.  Here,  as  a  means  of  paying  expenses 
while  seeing  the  fair,  I  was  in  the  employ  of  Haskell  &  Sells, 
who  had  taken  charge  of  the  exposition  receipts  in  behalf  of 
the  government.  In  October  of  that  year,  our  classmate,

camp  in  the  southwest  corner  of  the  state,  there  to  begin  at 
the  bottom  as  common  laborers  at  one  dollar  and  a  half  a  day 
to  learn  the  lumber  business.  I  worked  at  common  labor  in

superintendent  of  the  Lingville  Long  Leaf  Lumber  Company 
at  Lingville,  La.,  engaged  in  building  for  the  Ling  Bell 
Lumber  Company  one  of  the  largest  plants  in  the  South. 
Late  in  1907  it  was  necessary  for  me  to  temporarily  leave  the 
lumber  business  to  take  care  of  my  father's  affairs  in  Checo- 
tah,  Okla.,  and  I  became  vice-president  and  general  manager 
of  the  Lawrance  Grain  &  Milling  Company  in  February, 
1909.  My  father's  affairs  in  the  meantime  having  shaped 
themselves  so  that  I  could  leave,  I  returned  May  1,  1909,  to 
the  lumber  business  in  charge  of  the  sales  of  the  Sabine 
Lumber  Company  east  of  the  Mississippi  with  offices  in  St.

knocking  about  the  lumber  woods  of  the  coast  for  the  next 
six  months,  three  months  of  which  were  spent  in  the  Redwoods

is  unmarried. 

Mason  has  been  instructor  in  English  in  Yale  College  since 
September,  1907.  Concerning  his  life  since  leaving  college 
he  writes : 

"History  has  little  concern  with  'the  short  and  simple 
annals  of  the  poor';  but  to  whom  it  may  concern,  this  brief 
autobiography  is  herewith  dedicated. 

"After  the  somber  close  of  our  great  graduation  cere- 
monies, and  after  'Brad'  Brinton,  '04  S.,  and  I  had  concluded 
the  obsequies  of  the  'Commencement  Issue  of  the  Yale  Daily 
News'  (a  pleasing  graft  which  netted  us  a  salubrious  profit), 
I  left  New  Haven  (last  of  the  non-resident  members  of  the 
class  to  do  so:  and  a  gloomy  and  forlorn  departure  it  was) 
to  spend  the  summer  with  my  hospitable  and  gifted  room- 
mate, Paul  Ney,  in  Hartford,  Farmington,  Waterbury, 
South  Glastonbury,  Watch  Hill,  and  all  points  east.  Then 
followed  three  pleasant  years  of  teaching  (chiefly  English, 
with  a  dash  of  French  and  a  taint  of  Latin)  at  the  Hotchkiss 
School,  Lakeville,  Conn.  The  three  summers  were  spent  in 
Connecticut,  in  the  towns  mentioned  above,  with  the  addition 
of  Lakeville  and  Salisbury.  I  awoke  one  morning  in  April, 
1907,  to  find  myself  appointed  instructor  in  English  in  Yale 
College,  with  a  three-year  tenure  of  office.  A  summer  was  all 
too  brief  a  period  for  adequate  preparation ;  but  on  the  ever- 
memorable  25th  of  September,  1907,  I  faced  my  first  class  in 
Freshman  English  'sustained  and  calmed  by  an  unfaltering' 
bluff,  and  have  ever  since  then  continued  with  varying  success 
in  the  arduous  endeavor  to  keep  at  least  one  day's  lesson 
ahead  of  my  students.  Meanwhile  I  entered  the  Yale  Gradu- 
ate School  in  September,  1908,  and  little  by  little  am  working 
toward  that  consummation  devoutly  to  be  wished — the  degree 
of  Doctor  of  Philosophy.  I  should  have  it  by  our  Quin-

in  1908  and  1910,  with  occasional  visits  out  of  town,  and 
spent  June  25  to  September  15,  1909,  in  Munich,  Bavaria, 
whence  I  brought  back  increased  girth  and  throat  measure- 
ments, some  smattering  of  uncouth  vocables,  a  cosmopolitan 
breadth  of  view,  and  a  rich  russet  mustache.  My  special 
occupation  at  present  is  preparation  for  a  course  of  thirty 
lectures  on  'Minor  Authors  in  Nineteenth  Century  Prose,' 
which  I  am  to  give  next  year.  So  closes  this  brief  and 
abstract  chronicle  of  parietal  and  philomathic  pedagogy."

office  of  Hon.  J.  W.  McKinley  and  have  contiued  there  ever 
since.  I  have  spent  my  vacations  since  coming  out  here  at 
the  Hotel  Del  Monte,  Del  Monte,  Cal.,  at  the  time  of  the 
annual  golf  tournament  and  found  it  a  rendezvous  for  Elis, 
also  some  good  scouts  from  other  colleges.  I  refused  to  win 
all  the  prizes,  but  snagged  one  or  two  each  trip.  Last  July 
I  made  a  trip  to  Reno,  Nev.,  to  witness  an  altercation 
between  Johnson  and  Jeffries,  but  unlike  many  others  I  did 
not  bet  on  Jeffries.  I  have  become  almost  as  rabid  on  the 
subject  of  California  as  the  only  place  to  live  as  a  native  son, 
and  advise  all  the  fellows  to  come  out  and  take  a  look."

tion he  says : 

"On  leaving  college,  the  first  thing  I  did  was  to  try  to  get 
a  job  in  a  law  office.  I  finally  secured  one  (unsalaried)  at 
the  office  of  Wilson  Brown,  Jr.,  120  Railroad  Avenue,  White 
Plains,  where  I  became  an  expert  at  serving  papers  and

putting  stamps  on  envelopes.  I  entered  the  New  York  Law 
School  in  the  fall  of  1904,  worked  mornings  and  went  to 
school  afternoons.  This  did  not  seem  to  agree  with  me — 
being  pushed  with  work  never  did — so  in  1905  I  went  to  the 
Yale  Law  School.  Here  I  found  Newell  Jennings,  '04,  and 
Kirkham  and  Mendell,  '04,  were  in  the  Graduate  School.  I 
roomed  with  Kirkham  in  Farnam.  All  these  men  had  been 
intimate  friends  of  mine  in  college,  so  I  had  a  good  time 
besides  a  lot  of  work.  Sam  Hemingway,  '04,  was  also  in  the 
Graduate  School  and  lived  in  New  Haven.  Long  life  to  him ! 
He  and  Billy  Phelps  made  it  possible  for  me  to  stick  the  cor- 
poration for  an  M.  A. — Hemingway  by  lending  me  books  and 
Billy  by  easing  up  on  me  in  the  extra  reading.  I  had  a  fine 
two  years  of  it  and  landed  my  LL.  B.  and  M.  A.  handily. 

"There  being  no  excuse  for  further  study  at  Yale,  I  was 
forced  in  1907  to  actually  see  if  I  couldn't  get  to  work.  Not, 
however,  before  I  had  a  good  ten  days'  trip  to  Nova  Scotia 
and  back  as  a  reward  for  passing  the  New  York  Bar  exami- 
nations on  the  day  of  the  Yale-Harvard  Baseball  Game  in  my 
triennial  year. 

"I  again  tapped  Wilson's  office  for  room  for  my  legs  and 
after  I  had  been  there  a  little  over  a  year  John  R.  Bushong, 
Yale  '00,  came  there  as  managing  clerk.  We  soon  became 
good  friends.  This  was  about  September,  1908.  I  had  been 
making  enough  to  buy  clothes  while  having  desk  room,  but 
of  course  that  isn't  like  having  an  office  to  yourself  and  being 
called  'Counsellor'  by  the  court  officers  and  clerks.  So  in 
January,  1909,  'Bush'  and  I  started  out  with  thirty- two 
dollars  and  a  half.  We  have  been  going  ever  since  and  have 
made  a  living  thereat  now  for  over  a  year. 

"I  am  so  glad  I  went  to  Yale.  Why,  just  think  of  having 
missed  'Billy'  Sumner  or  President  Hadley's  gestures! 
While  an  undergraduate,  I  at  times  had  my  doubts  as  to 
whether  I  ought  not  to  have  gone  to  a  smaller  college ;  I  now

can't  see  why  there  is  any  use  going  or  even  thinking  of 
going  anywhere  else.  So  I  say,  as  I  said  on  June  ££,  1904, 
'For  God,  for  country  and  for  Yale' — and  also  for  Yale 
1904!"

"Having  said  good-by  to  Wiggins,  I  left  New  Haven  on 
the  night  after,  with  only  my  faithful  Prophylactic  securely 
wrapped  up  in  my  sheepskin  and,  reaching  Hartford,  thrust 
my  legs  once  more  'under  the  old  man's  table.'  Waking  from 
a  four  years'  reverie  next  morning  at  six  a.m.,  I  went  to 
work,  as  low  down  in  the  scale  of  organization  of  the  gold 
mines  (the  J.  M.  Ney  Company)  as  possible.  In  the  next 
two  weeks,  I  worked  here  eight  years,  receiving  commenda- 
tion and  three  dollars  a  month.  My  services  were  next 
appreciated  on  the  tobacco  plantation  of  J.  W.  Alsop,  Avon, 
Conn.  After  having  smoked  half  the  crop,  I  took  my  dog 
and  one  dollar  and  a  half,  the  first  stop  being  Idaho  (I 
started  for  Springfield  but  slept  over) .  Thence  from  ranch 
to  ranch,  living  mainly  on  cactus  and  mesquite,  down  through 
New  Mexico  to  Texas  for  several  months  and  home  again 
via  the  Gulf  of  Mexico  and  a  mess  of  tropical  islands  in  the 
south  seas,  hunting  for  the  original  'Whizz  fish.'  In  March, 
1908,  I  again  joined  the  commercial  slaves  making  gold 
bricks  for  the  New  York  trade.  After  my  marriage  in 
April,  1909,  I  dropped  anchor  in  the  good  old  Farmington 
valley,  where  I  am  trying  to  persuade  114  acres  and  some 
Guernsey  cows  to  produce  a  simple  living  and  shoes  and

New  Haven,  Conn. 

He  was  married  on  June  23,  1909,  in  the  Calvary  Baptist 
Church,  New  Haven,  to  Miss  Grace  Elizabeth  Walker,  daughter 
of  Dr.  and  Mrs.  E.  J.  Walker.  They  have  one  child,  Marion 
Louise,  born  October  13,  1910. 

Nichols  is  now  an  instructor  in  botany  in  the  Sheffield 
Scientific  School,  having  been  an  assistant  in  this  subject 
from  1904  to  1908.  In  1906  he  was  elected  a  member  of 
the  society  of  Sigma  Xi  and  in  1909  he  received  the  degree  of 
Ph.  D.  from  Yale  and  was  elected  to  membership  in  the  New 
England  Botanical  Club.  He  writes: 

"I  happened  to  be  one  of  those  lucky  individuals  whom 
kind  providence  and  the  course  of  events  destined  to  remain 
for  a  few  years  longer  within  reach  of  the  campus.  After 
graduation  I  migrated  to  Sheff ,  where  I  have  been  connected 
with  the  botanical  department  for  the  past  six  years.  For 
five  of  those  years  I  washed  bottles,  blacked  boots,  and  per- 
formed like  chores  peculiar  to  the  existence  of  an  assistant, 
gleaning  a  little  knowledge  here  and  there  on  the  side.  Inci- 
dentally during  that  time,  as  proctor  in  Pierson  Hall,  I  tried 
my  best  to  forget  that  I  had  ever  been  a  Freshman  myself. 
My  period  of  apprenticeship,  however,  terminated  in  1909, 
when  I  received  a  degree,  and  an  appointment  as  instructor. 
Although  I  can  now  advertise  myself  as  a  full-grown  and 
completely  educated  homo  sapiens,  I  have  not  yet  reached 
the  stage  of  the  game  where  I  can  refrain  from  swearing 
every  time  I  open  Tommy  Thacher's  touching  appeal  for  con- 
tributions to  raise  the  professor's  salaries. 

"In  connection  with  my  work  I  taught  at  the  Yale  Forest 
School  during  the  summer  of  1908  and  have  made  several 
more  or  less  extensive  botanical  collecting  and  exploring 
trips.  The  most  noteworthy  of  the  latter  was  to  Jamaica 
during  the  summer  of  1906  in  company  with  several  other 
distinguished  botanists.  During  the  summer  of  1910  I

"After  one  more  summer  as  a  'gentleman  of  leisure,'  in 
October,  1904,  I  entered  the  employ  of  the  Midvale  Steel 
Company  of  Philadelphia,  where  I  started  in  polishing  speci- 
mens in  the  microscopical  laboratory.  By  some  hard  work 
and  considerable  good  luck  I  worked  up  to  having  charge 
of  that  department  in  1907.  In  1906  I,  with  a  Boston 
'Tech'  man,  was  sent  abroad  by  the  company  for  July  and 
August.  Aside  from  a  very  good  time  and  an  unexpected 
reunion  in  Paris  with  'Jinks'  Bingham,  '04,  and  Jimmie 
Knox,  '04,  I  had  no  startling  adventures.  Upon  my  return 
I  made  the  first  move  towards  a  married  existence,  and  with 
three  other  men  took  a  house  at  306  Earlham  Terrace,  Ger- 
mantown. Philadelphia  is  a  very  poor  Yale  town  and  I 
very  seldom  saw  any  of  the  boys,  but  every  once  in  a  while 
one  would  drop  in.  In  February,  1909,  I  was  married  but 
did  not  start  housekeeping  until  October,  when  I  took  a  house 
at  313  Earlham  Terrace,  where  I  lived  until  I  came  to 
Bridgeport  (which  by  the  way  seems  to  be  a  nice  town  to

degree  of  Ph.  D.  in  1910.  Of  his  work  since  graduation 
he  says: 

"I  have  spent  half  of  the  six  years  since  1904  in  New 
Haven,  and  half  in  the  city  of  Washington.  From  1904  to 
1907  I  was  in  the  Yale  Graduate  School,  majoring  in  eco- 
nomics and  acting  as  assistant  to  'Bill'  Bailey  in  his  various 
courses.  The  summer  of  1906  I  spent  in  Europe,  traveling 
with  my  brother,  Maurice,  '04.  Our  route  lay  through 
Spain,  Italy,  Austria  and  Germany.  At  Heidelberg  he  left 
me  for  a  year's  study  in  Paris,  while  I  went  on  up  the  Rhine 
into  Holland  and  Belgium.  In  November,  1906,  I  took  the 
examination  for  special  examiner  and  special  agent  in  the 
Federal  Government  service,  and  as  a  result  went  in  with  the 
Interstate  Commerce  Commission  at  Washington  on  July  17, 
1907.  During  the  early  part  of  1909,  I  also  filled  a  secre- 
taryship under  the  Interdepartmental  Statistical  Committee. 
In  September,  1909,  I  resigned  my  connection  with  the  Inter- 
state Commerce  Commission  and  became  special  agent  for  the 
Immigration  Commission.  Again  on  January  1,  1910,  I 
changed  my  allegiance  but  not  my  title,  and  am  now  with  the 
Bureau  of  the  Census,  a  connection  that  is  likely  to  last 
through  the  census  period,  or  till  July  1,  1912.  In  the  mean- 
time, I  have  taken  a  doctor's  degree  in  economics  at  Yale, 
and  have  done  a  number  of  pieces  of  special  work,  among 
others  being  three  months'  field  work  for  the  National  Con- 
servation Commission  in  the  fall  of  1908,  and  a  number  of 
private  statistical  investigations."

"From  August,  1904,  to  October,  1905,  I  held  a  research 
fellowship  at  the  University  Settlement,  New  York,  and  was 
a  probation  officer  in  the  Court  of  General  Sessions,  New 
York  City.  From  October,  1905,  to  July,  1906,  I  was  chief

wrote  in  part  in  Europe  and  finished  soon  after  my  return. 
This  book,  entitled  'The  Principles  of  Anthropology  and 
Sociology  in  Their  Relations  to  Criminal  Procedure,'  was 
published  by  the  Macmillan  Company  in  September,  1908,  in 
a  series  entitled  the  'Citizen's  Library  of  Economics,  Politics 
and  Sociology,'  edited  by  Professor  Richard  T.  Ely  of  the 
University  of  Wisconsin.  Yrale  gave  me  an  M.  A.  degree  in 
June,  1908,  in  recognition  of  this  book,  which  has  been  widely 
and  favorably  reviewed  and  is  now  being  used  as  a  text-book 
in  many  universities,  as  for  example,  Harvard,  Columbia, 
Pennsylvania,  Wisconsin,  etc. 

"From  November,  1907,  to  September,  1908,  I  made  an 
investigation  of  inebriety  in  Boston  for  the  Russell  Sage 
Foundation  for  Social  Research.  From  December,  1908, 
to  May,  1909,  I  studied  in  the  School  of  Political  Science  of

Columbia  University  and  received  a  Ph.  D.  degree.  My 
doctor's  dissertation,  entitled  'Inebriety  in  Boston,"  con-

published  in  April,  1909.  I  was  acting  professor  of  econo- 
mics in  the  Syracuse  University  Summer  School  during  the 
summer  of  1909  and  was  assistant  professor  of  sociology  and 
economics  in  the  University  of  Kansas  from  September,  1909, 
to  September,  1910,  when  I  became  assistant  professor  of

the  summer  of  1905  my  brother  and  I  took  a  cattle  boat  trip 
to  England,  selling  enough  stereoscopic  views  to  the  country 
gentry  about  Brandon,  a  village  near  Ely  and  Cambridge, 
to  pay  for  a  week  in  London  and  a  short  English  tour. 
After  graduating  in  1906  from  the  Law  School,  I  studied  law 
in  the  office  of  Samuel  A.  Hermann,  Winsted,  Conn.,  during 
the  autumn  of  1906,  and  after  admission  to  the  bar  of  Litch- 
field  County  in  January,  1907,  I  opened  a  law  office  in 
Terryville,  Conn.  I  was  elected  Judge  of  Probate  for  the 
District  of  Plymouth,  Conn.,  in  the  autumn  of  1908,  taking 
office  January  1,  1909,  for  a  two-year  term.  On  July  1, 
1909,  I  became  one  of  the  reportorial  staff  of  the  Hartford 
Courant,  discontinuing  the  law  office  at  Terryville,  but  con- 
tinuing as  judge  of  probate  until  the  end  of  the  term,  this

little  time  in  the  southern  part  of  Spain.  The  trip  was  an

I  went  west  for  six  months  and  studied  mines  in  Utah, 
Nevada,  California,  Montana  and  Idaho,  with  a  view  towards 
investment  as  well  as  for  my  own  edification.  I  came  back 
in  January,  1908,  and  taught  mining  and  wrote  a  thesis  for 
my  degree,  which  I  took  (Mn.  E.)  in  1908,  the  first,  and  so 
far  the  last,  mining  degree  ever  given  at  Yale.  In  Sep- 
tember, 1908,  I  went  to  Cripple  Creek,  Colo.,  for  one  year 
and  leased  in  five  or  six  mines.  In  September,  1909,  I  came 
back  as  instructor  in  mining  and  metallurgy  at  Yale  until 
June,  1910.  I  am  now  an  assistant  engineer  of  the  New

N.  J.,  and  Henrietta  Adele  (Huggins)  Shelton.  He  prepared 
at  the  Montclair  High  School,  and  in  college  was  treasurer  of 
the  Freshman  Union,  a  member  of  the  Freshman  Glee  Club,  and 
of  the  Apollo  Glee  Club,  divided  the  second  prize  in  Sophomore 
elocution,  and  was  a  member  of  Zeta  Psi.  He  is  engaged  to  be 
married. 

Since  February  1,  1910,  Shelton  has  been  engaged  in 
industrial  engineering  with  the  Forbes  Lithograph  Manu- 
facturing Company.  He  writes : 

"In  September,  1904,  I  entered  the  New  York  office  of 
the  Columbian  National  Life  Insurance  Company  of  Boston, 
residing  at  home  in  Montclair.  In  March,  1905,  I  moved  to 
Boston  to  become  field  superintendent  for  New  England  in 
the  above  company,  holding  this  position  until  July,  1906, 
when  I  was  sent  to  Chicago  to  take  charge  of  office  No.  2. 
I  returned  home  to  Montclair  in  November  of  that  year,  and 
left  the  insurance  company  in  March,  1907.  I  was  an 
incorporator  and  president  of  the  Construction  Service  Com- 
pany of  New  York  City,  engaged  in  developing  efficiency  in 
civil  engineering  operations,  starting  business  in  May,  1907, 
but  resigned  in  May,  1908,  to  go  with  F.  W.  Bird  &  Son, 
paper  manufacturers,  at  East  Walpole,  Mass.,  in  their  sales 
department,  moving  to  East  Walpole,  and  after  a  few  months 
to  Walpole,  Mass.  I  left  Walpole  in  January,  1910,  to  take 
up  industrial  engineering  work  for  the  Forbes  Lithograph 
Manufacturing  Company,  moving  to  Chelsea,  Mass. 

"Not  to  find  his  true  and  ultimate  vocation  at  once  upon 
leaving  college  is  the  fate  of  many  a  graduate.  My  own 
experience  convinces  me  that  such  a  fate  may  be  kindly  rather 
than  the  reverse,  in  all  that  concerns  one's  truest  welfare. 
Yet  whatever  be  one's  point  of  view  as  to  the  kindness  or 
austerity  of  his  own  particular  fate,  if  he  has  not  found  and 
fitted  himself  into  his  true  niche  in  life,  it  is  up  to  him  to  keep 
going  until  he  gets  there.  And  then,  least  of  all,  is  it  time 
for  him  to  fold  his  hands  and  say  'satis  fed.9 '

den  and  Lafayette  B.  Mendel.  The  glimpse  into  the  field  of 
natural  science  was  of  distinct  value,  and  the  faculty  accepted 
the  proffered  fee  for  a  master's  degree,  but  it  was  quite 
evident  that  Darwin's  soul  must  have  transmigrated  else- 
where. During  the  next  autumn  there  was  much  dabbling  in 
various  departments  at  Columbia  University,  and  from  Janu- 
ary to  October,  1906, 1  acted  as  probation  officer  in  the  Court 
of  General  Sessions,  New  York  City,  under  a  fellowship  of  the 
University  Settlement,  succeeding  Maurice  Parmelee,  '04, 
who  later  followed  his  work  by  study  abroad  and  the  publica- 
tion of  an  original  treatise  on  criminal  procedure.  During 
these  months  as  probation  officer  I  resided  at  the  University 
Settlement.  Finally  the  unrest  ended,  and  there  was  a  three 
years'  course  at  the  Columbia  Law  School,  during  the  second 
and  third  years  of  which  many  delightful  hours  were  spent  in 
the  editorial  rooms  of  the  Columbia  Law  Review.  In  the 
summer  of  1908  I  traveled  in  Colorado,  Utah  and  Yellowstone 
Park,  meeting  Harry  Glicksman,  '04,  and  his  bride,  by 
appointment,  in  Denver,  and  chancing  on  Arthur  Have- 
meyer,  '04,  in  Western  Colorado.  The  New  York  Bar 
examinations  were  successfully  weathered  in  January,  1909, 
with  the  help  of  the  usual  vade  mecums,  and  since  July,  1909, 
I  have  been  associated  with  McElheny  &  Bennett,  15  William 
Street,  New  York  City,  in  the  practice  of  the  law.  Matri-

1904."

and  most  conservative  companies,  which  I  accepted,  and 
assumed  my  new  duties  in  March,  1907.  Then  came  the 
panic  in  which  I  had  the  foresight  to  be  in  the  wilds  on  my 
vacation  during  the  worst  week  in  October,  and  no  news  of 
its  events  reached  me  for  six  days.  In  April,  1908,  I  moved

began  to  practice  in  1866  and  did  practice  until  June,  1910, 
when  we  moved  here.  In  July,  1909, 1  became  connected  with 
Dr.  O'Brien  of  this  city  as  his  assistant  in  surgery,  and 
started  to  fulfill  the  duties  of  the  physician  at  the  Day 
Nursery.  I  was  appointed  assistant  city  and  county  phy- 
sician in  October,  1909,  and  also  got  my  commission  at  that 
time.  Between  state,  county,  city  and  self  I  have  enough  to 
do.  Since  our  marriage  we  have  lived  at  the  place  stated 
except  for  a  few  months  in  a  flat  while  waiting  to  get  the 
house.  So  far  as  travel  has  been  concerned  we  don't  get  time

the  future  will  take  care  of  itself.  Here  endeth  the  narra-

^Lathrop  Smith 
Died  1907. 

Born  July  2,  1882,  in  Bridgehampton,  Long  Island,  N.  Y.,  the 
son  of  William  Medill  Smith,  a  lawyer  in  the  claim  department 
of  the  Atchison,  Topeka  &  Santa  Fe  Railroad,  and  Fannie 
(Lathrop)  Smith,  daughter  of  John  Hiram  Lathrop,  LL.  D. 
(Yale  College  1819),  for  many  years  president  of  the  Univer- 
sity of  Missouri.  He  prepared  at  the  Taft  School,  Watertown, 
Conn.  He  was  unmarried. 

After  graduation  he  spent  a  year  in  the  Kansas  City  Law 
School  and  in  a  law  office,  and  in  the  fall  of  1905  entered  the 
Columbia  Law  School,  where  he  was  enthusiastic,  thorough 
and  successful  in  his  work,  and  wherever  known  was  highly 
esteemed  by  many  friends  for  his  manly  character,  his  good 
fellowship,  and  his  high  ideals. 

His  sudden  death  by  his  own  hand  at  the  Grand  Union 
Hotel,  New  York  City,  January  23,  1907,  was  attributed  to 
a  sudden  loss  of  mental  balance  due  to  the  effects  of  a  severe 
fall  while  on  the  coast  of  Maine  some  time  before.  He  was 
twenty-four  years  of  age.

Born  December  24,  1882,  in  Chicago,  111.,  the  son  of  Frank  J. 
Smith,  a  lawyer  (died  January  23,  1901),  and  Myra  Charlotte

tory School  of  Chicago,  and  in  college  was  a  member  of  the  Fresh- 
man and  University  Basket  Ball  Teams,  of  the  Gymnasium  Team 
for  three  years,  won  first  prize  in  tumbling  for  three  years,  and 
was  a  member  of  Beta  Theta  Pi. 

He  was  married  on  October  21,  1905,  in  Chicago,  111.,  to  Miss 
Clara  Mondell.  They  have  one  child,  Marjory  Mondell,  born 
January  16,  1908. 

Smith,  who  received  the  degree  of  Ph.  B.  from  the  Sheffield 
Scientific  School  in  1905,  is  now  engaged  as  a  civil  engineer 
with  George  W.  Jackson,  Inc.,  of  Chicago,  111.  Of  his  life 
since  graduation  he  writes : 

"I  left  Yale  June  11,  1905,  receiving  my  Ph.  B.  degree, 
after  having  passed  special  examinations,  and  went  directly 
to  Skagway,  Alaska,  with  a  party  to  locate  the  boundary 
between  Alaska  and  Canada.  My  position  was  assistant  sur- 
veyor. I  stayed  there  till  late  in  September,  and  then  went 
back  to  Chicago  for  a  month.  I  went  to  Ithaca,  N.  Y., 
where  my  chief  of  party,  Prof.  O.  M.  Leland,  lived,  and  where 
he  established  a  government  office  for  computing  and  plotting 
the  season's  work  of  his  party.  I  was  the  only  one  in  the 
office.  Under  my  chief's  direction  I  computed  the  triangula- 
tions  for  three  winters,  going  to  Alaska  on  the  survey  for  four 
summers.  The  last  summer,  1908,  I  had  a  little  party  of 
my  own  up  the  Leduc  River — one  hundred  miles  from  any 
civilization.  We  had  to  pack  out  our  outfits  so  late  in  the 
season  that  we  nearly  got  caught;  and  we  risked  our  lives 
hourly  for  a  whole  month.  I  left  the  service  in  the  fall  of 
1908  and  took  a  two  months'  vacation.  In  January,  1909, 
I  went  to  work  for  George  W.  Jackson,  Inc.,  as  civil  engineer

"In  the  fall  of  1904  I  started  teaching  Latin  in  the  Hop- 
kins Grammar  School,  New  Haven.  In  March,  1905,  I 
resigned  my  position  on  account  of  ill  health.  After  wander- 
ing south  for  a  short  time,  I  landed  in  Colorado,  where  I 
worked  on  ranches  until  summer.  During  that  summer  I 
did  private  tutoring  in  Pueblo,  Colo.  In  the  fall  I  went  to 
the  Victor  (Cripple  Creek  District)  High  School  as  teacher 
of  English,  but  resigned  my  position  in  December  on  account 
of  ill  health.  After  two  months  spent  in  Denver,  I  went  to 
Central  City,  Colo.,  as  principal  of  the  high  school,  finish- 
ing the  school  year  of  1906  there.  I  was  reflected  to  the 
position,  but  after  tutoring  in  Colorado  Springs  during  the 
summer  I  returned  to  New  Haven,  where  I  spent  the  fall  of 
1906.  In  January,  1907,  I  went  to  the  Mackenzie  School 
at  Dobbs  Ferry,  N.  Y.,  and  finished  the  school  year  teaching 
there.  During  the  summer  of  1907  I  had  charge  of  the 
chapel  in  a  boys'  and  girls'  camp  (New  York  poor  children) 
near  Peekskill,  N.  Y.  In  the  fall  of  1907,  after  working  a 
short  time  in  the  registrar's  office  at  Yale,  I  went  to  the  Union 
Hill  (N.  J.)  High  School  and  taught  there  until  July,  1908. 
In  August,  1908,  I  moved  to  Los  Angeles,  Cal.,  and  after 
some  tutoring  during  December  and  January,  I  was  elected 
to  teach  Latin  in  a  new  high  school,  established  in  Los 
Angeles,  February,  1909,  and  finished  the  year  there.  I 
resigned  my  position  in  the  fall  of  1909  and  was  elected  to  my 
present  position  in  June,  1910.  Apparently  my  days  of  ill

He  writes: 

"With  a  sheepskin  carefully  tucked  away  at  home,  I 
started  out  in  the  cold,  cold  world  of  business  determined  to 
get  out  where  dirt  was  thickest.  Temporarily  sidetracked, 
I  entered  the  cost  system  office  of  Factory  C,  International 
Silver  Company,  Bridgeport,  Conn.,  where  I  had  been  em- 
ployed during  the  vacation  of  Junior  year.  My  term  there 
lasted  from  late  in  August,  1904,  to  early  in  October,  when 
I  'got-a-job'  in  the  'soaking  pits'  of  the  billet  mill  of  the 
American  Tube  &  Stamping  Company,  Bridgeport.  As  a 
day  laborer  I  mingled  with  swarthy  sons  of  Italy  and 
learned  (?)  their  language.  In  April,  1905,  my  status  was 
changed  from  laborer  to  foreman  when  I  went  with  The  B.  D. 
Pierce,  Jr.,  Company,  Bridgeport,  general  contractors.  In 
the  fall  of  this  year  I  enlisted  in  Company  F,  Second  Regi-

but  received  an  honorable  discharge  after  six  months'  service 
on  account  of  business  keeping  me  away  from  drills.  Up  to 
June,  1906,  I  had  lived  with  my  parents  in  Bridgeport,  and 
then  I  moved  to  Derby,  Conn.,  to  become  superintendent  of 
the  Derby  Rubber  Company,  manufacturers  of  reclaimed 
rubber.  Here  I  stayed  until  May,  1909,  when  I  went  back 
to  Bridgeport,  accepting  the  position  of  representative  and 
paymaster  of  the  Connecticut  Trap  Rock  Quarries,  Inc.,  of 
New  Haven,  Conn.  At  present  writing  I  have  not  changed 
again. 

"My  travels  can  be  spoken  of  as  'trip,'  for  my  only  wan- 
dering was  in  August,  1908,  when  I  visited  Halifax,  N.  S., 
and  St.  Johns,  N.  F.  In  December,  1909,  I  served  as  local 
manager  for  the  Yale  University  Dramatic  Association  upon 
the  occasion  of  their  appearance  in  Bridgeport."

"I  spent  the  year  1904-05  in  the  Yale  Graduate  School 
(Romance  department),  and  the  years  1905-07  in  Europe, 
specializing  in  Romance  languages  under  the  direction  of  the 
Yale  Graduate  School.  I  spent  one  year  in  France  (Paris)  ; 
six  months  in  Spain  (Madrid)  ;  three  months  in  Italy  (all 
over)  ;  did  special  research  work  in  Europe  (critical  study  of 
fifteenth  and  sixteenth  century  Spanish  Cancionero  manu- 
scripts existing  in  France,  Spain  and  Italy).  While  in 
Rome  I  prepared  part  of  my  work  for  publication,  which 
appeared  in  1907  in  the  Revue  Hispanique,  published  at 
Paris,  Vol.  50.  Upon  my  return  from  Europe  in  June,  1907, 
I  spent  the  following  year,  1907-08,  in  the  Romance  depart- 
ment of  the  Yale  Graduate  School  again,  working  towards  a 
Ph.  D.  degree.  In  1908,  by  change  of  circumstances,  I  was 
forced  out  of  the  above  work  and  into  the  Yale  Law  School, 
where  I  continued  until  November  1,  1909,  when,  by  another 
happy  change  of  circumstances,  I  was  able  to  drop  out  of 
the  law  school  (never  cared  for  it  and  never  wanted  it,  was 
forced  into  it  as  above  stated).  On  April  1,  1910,  I  was

18,  1910,  he  organized  and  became  the  first  president  of  the 
North  St.  Louis  Ministers'  Federation.  He  writes: 

"Having  been  denied  my  'dip'  because  one  lone  bottle 
found  its  way  from  my  window — in  a  not  very  gracious  mood 
I  betook  myself  along  with  Tat'  Sweet,  '05,  to  help  'Herb' 

Gallaudet,  '98,  in  his  religio-socio  work  among  the  sturdy 
mountaineers  of  Western  North  Carolina.  Here  a  most 
delightful  summer  was  spent  among  a  backward  race  whom 
we  came  to  love  and  in  whom  we  felt  there  were  great  possi- 
bilities for  advancement.  The  next  fall  I  came  to  New  York 
as  assistant  at  The  Neighborhood  House  of  the  Spring  Street 
Presbyterian  Church,  succeeding  Dudley  Lewis,  '03.  After 
a  year  of  splendid  experience  among  the  problems  of  the 
lower  West  Side,  I  went  to  Auburn  Theological  Seminary  for 
a  three  years'  commitment,  having  as  cell  companions  such 
rare  Yale  spirits  as  'Hank'  Judd,  '01,  and  Frank  Moore,  '03. 
One  summer  was  spent  as  minister  in  charge  of  a  little 
country  church  near  Syracuse,  on  my  way  home  from  which 
I  met  'Trot'  Lewis,  '04,  with  a  gang  of  Irishmen  whom  he  was 
superintending  in  some  construction  work.  At  the  time  of 
my  winter  vacation  I  went  down  into  the  mountains  again  and 
on  my  way  met  Stewart  Minis,  '04,  as  I  was  boarding  the 
train  at  Washington.  The  next  summer  was  spent  at  home 
and  at  Joplin,  Mo.,  where  I  supplied  the  pulpit  of  the  First 
Presbyterian  Church.  After  graduation  in  May,  1908,  I 
accepted  an  opportunity  as  minister  in  charge  of  the  down- 
town work  of  the  Second  Presbyterian  Church,  called  now  the 
Greeley  Memorial  Church,  in  the  heart  of  a  German  working- 
men's  district,  where  I  am  trying  to  apply  'Bill'  Bailey  and 
the  New  Testament  to  the  needs  of  our  great  industrial 
classes  and  becoming  more  of  a  socialist  every  day — a  lover 
of  the  poor  and  more  and  more  out  of  patience  with  the  sugar 
pills  of  the  rich." 

Case  is  a  member  of  the  Alpha  Tau  Epsilon  (St.  Louis).

aim  to  spend  at  home.  At  present  I  am  contemplating  mov-

I  travel.  For  the  past  three  years  I  have  been  president  of

career  has  been  very  uneventful  except  that  I  have  done  fairly 
well  in  a  business  way,  having  made  a  good  living  and  a  little 
more.  Last  fall  I  was  presented  with  a  fine  son,  who,  if 
nothing  unforeseen  happens,  will  attend  Yale  some  time  in 
the  next  twenty  years.  I  regret  that  I  was  unable  to 
spare  the  time  to  come  East  for  Sexennial  but  hope  to  come 
in  1914.  My  time  is  too  much  taken  up  at  present."

ranch.     I  spent  the  fall  in  Canada,  the  winter  of  1906-07 
back  in  Kansas  City  in  business  with  my  father,  and  the 
summer  of  1907  in  the  Northwest  and  Alaska.     In  the  fall 
of  1907  I  entered  the  University  of  California  in  the  Graduate 
School,  where  I  received  the  degree  of  M.  A.  in  May,  1909. 
In   July,   1909,   I   sailed   for  France.     Since   then   I   have 
traveled  extensively  in  France,  Italy  and  Holland,  having 
however  spent  much  time  in  Paris  attending  various  lectures 
mainly  on  subjects  pertaining  to  government.     I  expect  to 
remain  in  Europe  another  year  before  starting  for  an  ex- 
tended tour  in  Denmark,  Norway  and  Sweden.     The  thesis 
for  my  A.  M.  degree  at  the  University  of  California  was  on 
'The  United  States-China  Treaty  of  1844.'  "

School,  Genesee,  N.  Y.,  and  left  Yale  in  June,  1903. 

He  was  married  on  April  18,  1904,  in  New  York  City,  to  Miss 
Elizabeth  Cathaline  Robb  of  Amsterdam,  N.  Y.,  Sans  Souci, 
N.  C.,  '03,  daughter  of  Margaret  A.  Robb  and  Dr.  William 
H.  Robb.  They  have  one  child,  Robb,  born  July  5,  1906,  in 
Rochester,  N.  Y. 

Quinby  has  been  senior  partner  in  the  firm  of  Quinby  &

a  director  and  secretary  of  the  Avon  Electric  Company,  the

Railroad  &  Electric  Company.  He  was  admitted  to  the  New 
York  Bar  on  April  2,  1907.  He  writes : 

"Upon  leaving  college  at  the  end  of  my  Junior  year,  I 
went  to  the  Albany  Law  School  for  one  year,  and  during  that 
time  was  connected  as  clerk  in  the  State  Senate.  I  was 
married  in  April  of  that  year,  and  after  the  termination  of 
the  school  year  moved  to  Rochester,  N.  Y.,  associating  myself 
with  the  law  firm  of  Lewis  &  McKay.  I  remained  with  Lewis 
&  McKay  until  the  fall  of  1906,  when  I  became  associated 
as  junior  partner  of  the  law  firm  of  Sutherland  &  Otis.  That 
firm  was  dissolved  at  the  end  of  the  year,  Hon.  William  A. 
Sutherland  becoming  attorney  for  the  Public  Service  Com- 
mission, and  Alexander  Otis  giving  up  the  practice  of  law. 
I  then  removed  to  my  present  quarters  in  October,  1907,  and 
began  a  practice  of  law  alone,  until  my  practice  grew  so  that 
it  became  necessary  for  me  to  take  in  a  partner.  Being 
unable  to  secure  a  Yale  man,  I  was  fortunate  in  securing  Mr. 
James  L.  Brewer,  Syracuse  '98,  and  since  that  time  he  has 
been  associated  with  me.  During  the  year  of  1906,  I  con- 
ceived the  idea  that  there  was  money  in  Eastern  League 
Baseball,  so  took  a  small  interest  in  the  Rochester  Club  of 
the  Eastern  League,  and  became  their  secretary  and  treas- 
urer. Either  fortunately  or  unfortunately,  a  serious  acci- 
dent in  the  fall  of  the  bleachers  that  year  caused  us  to  lose

POT-POURRI 


THE  NEW  DEAN  OF  YALE  COLLEGE 
FREDERICK  S.  JONES,  '84 


YALE  SINCE  NINETEEN-FOUR 
BY  WILLARD  H.  DURHAM 

If  those  of  you  who  think  that  the  last  six  years  have 
brought  great  changes  to  Yale  should  come  back  here,  not  at 
Commencement,  not  at  the  time  of  a  Harvard  game,  but  for 
a  day  or  two  in  term  time;  if  you  should  go  once  more  into 
classrooms  and  talk  with  undergraduates  who  knew  you  well 
enough  to  be  quite  frank ;  and  if  you  should  then  settle  your- 
selves comfortably  before  my  fire  and  tell  me  your  impres- 
sions, you  would  say,  I  imagine,  that  the  place  seemed  very 
different.  But  would  you  say  that  it  was  Yale  which  had 
changed?  Isn't  the  difference  due  to  the  fact  that  you  now 
see  Yale  from  an  office  instead  of  from  Vanderbilt?  Between 
the  window  of  an  office  and  the  window  of  a  dormitory  there 
is  a  great  gulf  fixed. 

To  me,  at  any  rate,  perhaps  because  I'm  still  looking  from 
the  dormitory  window,  the  place  seems  very  much  the  same 
as  it  did  six  years  ago.  The  undergraduates  who  are  troop- 
ing by  my  window  on  their  way  to  a  Sunday  service  in 
Woolsey  might  just  as  easily  belong  to  the  Class  of  1904  as 
to  that  of  1911.  Those  who  come  in  now  and  then  to  tell 
me  of  their  troubles  or  their  joys  differ  from  us  in  little 
beside  names.  The  joyous  mischief  of  this  year's  Freshman 
is  so  amazingly  like  ours  that  I  have  difficulty  in  concealing 
the  fact  that  I  know  the  end  of  his  stories  almost  before  he 
begins.  His  cleverness  is  our  cleverness,  his  foolishness  our 
foolishness,  and  he  will  grow  as  we  grew. 

With  this  likeness  continually  thrust  upon  me,  do  you 
wonder  that  I  have  little  eye  for  differences?  It  is  the 
undergraduates,  after  all,  who  make  Yale  what  it  is,  and  so 
long  as  they  remain  true  to  the  type  developed  through  gen- 
erations of  their  predecessors,  Yale  will  retain  its  distinctive 


302  POT-POURRI 

character.  The  fact  that  Yale  has  a  characteristic  type  of 
undergraduate,  that  this  type  varies  so  little  from  year  to 
year,  suggests  what  are  to  me  the  most  interesting  things  to 
be  said  about  the  place — but  I  was  asked  to  write  about 
changes. 

The  very  fact  that  I  am  sitting  where  I  am,  in  the  newest 
of  the  Vanderbilt  dormitories,  implies  the  change  which  first 
strikes  the  returning  graduate.  When  we  left  College,  only 
one  of  the  Sheffield  Vanderbilts  was  completed,  and  the  lions 
of  Lamson  were  still  new  enough  to  offer  possibilities  of 
amusement.  Since  then  Sheff  has  added  this  dormitory,  the 
Leet  Oliver  recitation  hall,  the  Hammond  Metallurgical 
Laboratory,  and  has  begun  the  Mason  Laboratory  of  Me- 
chanical Engineering.  The  College  has  built  Haughton 
Hall,  the  most  convenient,  although  not  the  most  beautiful, 
of  her  dormitories,  and  has  begun  to  plan  for  one  which  is  to 
be  a  memorial  to  Dean  Wright.  The  University,  as  dis- 
tinguished from  its  departments,  has  added  Linsly  Hall  to  the 
assortment  of  south  wings  which  serve  the  Library,  has  built 
the  Carnegie  Swimming  Pool,  and  has  begun  the  new  Sloane 
Laboratory  of  Physics.  With  all  these  built  or  building,  we 
who  remember  Lyceum  and  North  College  and  the  old 
Treasury  building  seem  nearly  as  antediluvian  as  the  old 
grads  who  used  to  tell  us  about  the  Brick  Row  and  the  old 
Fence. 

As  a  result  of  this  material  growth  the  casual  visitor  can 
realize  much  more  easily  than  in  the  past  the  real  wealth  and 
importance  of  the  University.  Moreover,  just  as  Yale  has 
built  much  but  sorely  needs  to  build  more,  so  she  has  grown 
in  wealth  but  remains  poor.  The  assets  of  the  University  are 
greater  by  nearly  five  and  a  half  millions  than  they  were  in 
1904,  but  they  are  still  sadly  insufficient  to  meet  real  needs. 

The  new  buildings  have,  however,  a  much  greater  signifi- 
cance than  this.  Quite  apart  from  the  internal  changes 


YALE  SINCE  NINETEEN-FOUR  303 

which  some  of  them  signify — of  which  more  presently — they 
indicate  the  beginning  of  a  real  architectural  policy.  There 
is  still  confusion  worse  confounded.  The  corner  of  Grove 
and  College  Streets  must  long  remain  an  architectural  night- 
mare. Nevertheless,  we  have  at  last  a  supervising  architect, 
one  of  the  American  masters  of  collegiate  Gothic ;  we  have 
some  definite  notions  of  what  the  Vanderbilt  and  Pierson-Sage 
squares  are  some  day  to  be ;  and  we  have  reason  to  hope  that, 
whatever  mistakes  may  be  made  in  the  future,  the  hit-or-miss 
policy,  with  its  superabundance  of  misses,  is  gone  forever. 
The  University  seems  to  be  finding  itself  architecturally;  it 
seems  to  have  realized  at  last  that  buildings  express  char- 
acter. If  there  has  been  a  growth  in  architectural  unity,  it 
cannot  but  indicate  a  growth  in  internal  unity. 

This  growth  best  appears,  perhaps,  in  the  plans  for  the 
group  of  buildings  which  are  to  stand  on  the  newly  acquired 
Hillhouse  property,  Pierson-Sage  Square.  When  it  was 
first  proposed  to  place  there  the  new  Physics  Laboratory, 
some  very  stout  protests  were  made  from  the  College.  It 
was  felt  that  the  plan  for  a  laboratory  to  be  used  in  common 
by  Sheff  and  the  College,  for  a  building  considerably  distant 
from  the  College  campus,  meant  that  the  College  was  to  be 
sacrificed  to  the  University.  The  fear  was  a  healthy  one, 
but  it  seems  to  have  been  largely  unjustified.  Nothing  worse 
could  happen  to  Yale  than  that  the  College  should  lose  its 
individuality.  It  is  most  fortunate  that  we  have  men  who 
feel  this  strongly.  It  is  not  less  important,  however,  that 
Yale  should  be  more  truly  a  university  than  she  yet  is.  We 
have  men  who  see  that,  too.  Here,  as  often,  it  is  necessary 
to  hold  fast  to  two  ideas  which  often  conflict,  which  some- 
times seem  mutually  destructive ;  to  work  out  the  problem  as 
best  may  be ;  but  never  to  give  up  either  idea,  never  to  sacri- 
fice one  to  the  other.  And  this,  I  think,  is  what  is  being  done 
at  Yale. 


304  POT-POURRI 

To  hold  fast  to  the  ideal  of  the  College  does  not  mean, 
nevertheless,  that  the  College  is  never  to  change.  One  for- 
ward step  has  just  been  taken.  The  days  when  we  gaily 
chose  our  electives  because  of  their  reputed  character  as 
"guts,"  or  because  of  the  convenience  of  their  hours,  or 
because  some  of  our  friends  were  taking  them,  are  gone. 
The  faculty  of  the  College  have  come  to  the  conclusion  that 
a  course  in  Biblical  Literature  may  profitably  be  followed 
by  something  other  than  a  History  of  Music ;  that  a  course 
in  Economics  is  hardly  the  best  preliminary  for  a  course  in 
English  Literature.  The  plan  recently  adopted,  known  as 
the  "group  system,"  still  leaves  sufficient  freedom  of  election, 
but  it  provides  that  for  most  of  his  work  the  student  shall 
follow  a  definite  and  well-arranged  plan.  He  may  choose  the 
type  of  course  he  likes,  but  he  must  pursue  with  some 
thoroughness  the  one  he  chooses.  As  undergraduates  we 
might  have  sighed  over  being  no  longer  able  to  flit  lightly 
from  intellectual  flower  to  intellectual  flower;  as  graduates 
we  cannot  but  agree  that  under  the  new  system  the  College 
will  turn  out  men  more  nearly  educated  than  were  the  ma- 
jority of  men  in  the  past. 

Another  change  which  causes  a  greater  sentimental  pang 
is  the  passing  of  the  Hutch.  Its  glory  has  departed;  it  is 
now  the  abode  of  sedate  and  respectable  townfolk.  For  us 
it  will  always  be  associated  with  joyous  memories,  but  the 
College  is  the  better  for  having  the  Sophomores  on  the 
campus.  Some  day — may  it  come  soon  ! — the  Dean's  plan 
of  gathering  in  the  Freshmen  will  also  be  realized. 

The  Dean !  I  should  have  said  "the  former  Dean,"  but  to 
us  Dean  Wright  will  always  be  "the"  Dean.  He  went  by  my 
window  a  moment  ago  looking  no  older  than  when  we  used 
to  face  him  in  the  little  old  shack  on  Elm  Street.  We  were 
not  always  able  to  meet  his  searching  glance,  perhaps,  but 
we  loved  him  none  the  less  for  that.  The  new  Dean  is  a  great 


YALE  SINCE  NINETEEN-FOUR  305 

man,  one  of  the  greatest  who  has  ever  come  to  us,  and  he  has 
already  made  a  place  for  himself  which  could  hardly  be  filled. 
But  it  is  not  the  place  of  Dean  Wright.  May  his  shadow 
never  grow  less ! 

Thank  heaven  that  so  many  of  the  old  figures  do  remain. 
The  undergraduates  can  still  touch  their  caps  to  "Ex-Prexy" 
Dwight,  though  fewer  and  fewer  can  have  the  privilege  of 
knowing  him.  "Waterloo"  Wheeler  may  be  a  little  less  able 
to  cope  with  the  clanging  trolley  cars  outside  his  Osborn  Hall 
window,  but  his  lectures  are  as  keen  and  as  brilliant  as  ever. 

Not  so,  however,  with  all.  Some  of  our  best  men  have  left 
us  for  Princeton,  Columbia,  Berkeley,  and  for  the  land  "from 
which  no  traveler  returns."  In  their  stead  a  number  of  new 
professors  have  come,  Brown,  Bumstead,  Farrand  and  Hen- 
drickson,  and  a  host  of  new  assistant  professors  and  instruc- 
tors who  would  interest  you  as  men  but  not  as  a  catalogue  of 
names.  One  man  has  left  a  vacancy  which  will  not  soon  be 
filled,  "Billy"  Sumner.  I  hope  he  is  now  able  to  think  more 
kindly  than  he  once  could  of  the  Class  he  so  longed  to  see 
graduate.  Requiescat  in  pace. 

Many  of  the  changes  which  seemed  impending  have  not  yet 
arrived.  Proms  are  still  held  in  the  Armory.  The  Stadium 
exists  only  in  fond  imaginations.  The  female  sweep  has  not 
entirely  succeeded  in  providing  dustless  and  drearily  orderly 
rooms.  Undergraduates  still  have  a  few  moments  left  to 
play.  Nor  have  all  the  advances  been  without  flaw.  Even 
if  the  scoffer  admits  the  desirability  of  Sunday  services  for 
the  whole  University,  he  may  still  question  whether  Woolsey 
Hall  is  just  the  place  for  them,  whether  Sousa's  Band  on 
Saturday  evening  provides  just  the  right  atmosphere  for  a 
religious  service  on  the  following  morning. 

Nevertheless,  the  scoffer  and  the  carping  critic  have  less 
place  at  Yale  than  ever.  Those  of  us  who  are  working  here 
are  often  sadly  conscious  of  our  failures,  of  the  changes  which 


306  POT-POURRI 

seem  imperative  but  which  are  not  made,  of  changes  which 
have  all  the  appearance  of  changes  for  the  worse ;  but  when 
one  looks  back  over  six  years,  he  sees  not  only  great  progress 
made,  but  still  greater  progress  which  is  coming.  No  great 
changes,  no  revolutions,  but  quiet  growth.  And  so  long  as 
we  continue  to  get  the  kind  of  Freshman  which  now  comes  to 
us,  and  so  long  as  Yale  continues  to  make  of  him  what  she 
does,  we  need  not  hesitate  to  sing  Te  Deum  for  what  Yale  is 
and  shall  be.

ALUMNI  UNIVERSITY  FUND 
BY  THOMAS  D.  THACHER 

In  describing  the  establishment,  aims  and  purposes  of  the 
Yale  Alumni  University  Fund,  the  last  report  of  the  Univer- 
sity treasurer  says: 

In  June,  1890,  the  Corporation  established  the  "Alumni 
University  Fund"  in  response  to  resolutions  of  the  New  York 
Alumni,  and  at  Commencement  of  that  year  there  was  organized 
an  association  to  be  known  as  "The  Alumni  University  Fund 
Association/'  to  be  managed  by  nine  directors,  alumni  of  Yale, 
appointed  by  the  president  of  the  University. 

Everyone  who  has  been  a  student  in  any  department  of  the 
University  is  invited  to  join  the  Association  by  contributing  to 
the  Fund,  and  any  contribution,  however  small,  and  whether  or 
not  it  is  continued  annually,  is  sufficient  qualification  for  mem- 
bership. Annual  contributions  are,  however,  especially  desired. 
"The  fund  is  to  be  applied,"  to  quote  from  the  original  announce- 
ment, "in  the  discretion  of  the  Corporation,  to  any  uses  of  the 
University,  but  preferably  to  general  University  purposes,  the 
benefits  of  which  are  shared  by  all  departments,  rather  than  to 
the  uses  of  any  particular  department." 

In  the  work  of  the  Alumni  Fund  Association  each  graduating 
class  is  now  represented  by  a  Class  Agent,  appointed  by  the 
Directors  of  the  Fund.  The  members  of  the  Board  of  Directors 
are  appointed,  as  provided,  by  the  president  of  the  University 
to  serve  for  three  years,  the  appointments  being  confirmed  by  the 
Corporation.  The  Board  elects  its  own  officers,  the  treasurer  of 
the  University  serving  as  the  treasurer  of  the  Fund.  Through 
the  Class  Agents  the  Association  invites  contributions,  and  par- 
ticularly annual  contributions,  to  the  Fund.  Gifts  may  be  made 
either  to  the  income  of  the  Fund  or  to  principal.  In  the  former 
case  the  entire  sums  collected  may,  in  the  discretion  of  the  Direct- 
ors, be  turned  over  to  the  University  to  be  used  as  University 
income.  Gifts  to  the  principal  of  the  Fund,  on  the  other  hand, 
are  held  in  trust  by  the  University  treasurer  and  interest  thereon 
is  credited  each  year  to  the  income  of  the  Association. 

As  a  matter  of  practice  the  Directors  of  the  Fund,  who  manage 
it  independently  of  the  University  authorities  although  working 
in  cooperation  with  them,  usually  vote  that  a  part  of  the  annual 
receipts  for  income  of  the  Association  be  given  to  the  University 


308  POT-POURRI 

to  be  added  to  University  Income  for  the  year,  to  be  used  for 
whatever  current  expenses  the  authorities  may  wish.  The  bal- 
ance, together,  of  course,  with  any  gifts  to  principal,  is  added  to 
the  principal  of  the  Fund. 

The  Alumni  Fund,  it  will  be  seen  then,  differs  from  all  other 
funds  of  the  University  in  several  important  respects.  It  is  con- 
trolled by  directors  chosen  from  the  graduates  instead  of  by  the 
University  authorities  alone.  Other  funds  are  usually  given  in 
one  amount  at  one  time  and,  as  a  rule,  with  definite  instructions 
as  to  the  use  of  the  income  or  principal,  or  both.  The  Alumni 
Fund,  on  the  contrary,  is  added  to  every  year,  and  is  unrestricted. 
The  principal  of  the  Fund  is  intended  to  be  a  part  of  the  Uni- 
versity's endowment.  The  gifts  from  the  income  of  the  Fund  to 
University  Income  are  not  confined  to  specific  purposes.  The 
advantage  of  this  to  the  University  is  great,  for  Yale  has  always 
been  particularly  in  need  of  money  for  general  purposes. 

In  their  discretion  the  Directors  of  the  Fund  may  suggest  that 
the  gifts  from  the  Fund  to  University  Income  in  any  year  be 
applied  for  some  particular  purpose.  This  last  June,  for  ex- 
ample, the  gift  of  $49,000  to  University  Income  was  accompanied 
by  the  recommendation  that  it  be  chiefly  applied  to  increasing  the 
salaries  of  the  University's  teaching  force. 

For  the  first  year  of  its  existence,  ending  June,  1891,  the  Asso- 
ciation reported  385  members  and  total  "cash  received  into  the 
Fund  $11,015.08."  Other  subscriptions  payable  later,  made  the 
"total  assured  January  1,  1892,  $16,630.08." 

For  the  year  ending  June  30,  1910,  the  number  of  contributors 
was  2,823;  the  total  income  of  the  Association  $49,155.47,  made 
up  of  $35,362.49  in  gifts,  less  expenses,  and  $13,792.98  interest; 
and  the  total  gifts  to  principal  of  the  Fund  $94,595.01.  After 
appropriating  $49,000  for  University  Income  the  remaining 
$155.47  of  the  Association  income  with  the  gifts  for  principal 
were  added  to  the  Fund,  which  now  stands  at  $454,403.87;  as 
compared  with  $359,653.39  a  year  ago.  The  principal  contri- 
butions were,  as  usual,  made  by  reunion  classes,  as  shown  by  the 
following  list  of  anniversary  gifts: 

Class  of                              Amount  Class  of  Amount 

1865 $10,000.00       1895S $    362.00

ALUMNI  UNIVERSITY  FUND  309 

Since  its  foundation  the  Alumni  Fund  Association  has  not  only 
built  up  the  Fund  but  has  also  given  the  University  in  all  for 
use  as  income  $330,763.18.  Once  the  importance  of  the  work  is 
fully  appreciated  by  all  the  alumni — and  it  is  not  yet  even  after 
twenty  years — there  is  little  doubt  that  a  majority,  instead  of  a 
minority,  of  graduates  will  be  actively  interested  in  the  work  of 
the  Association.  To  the  alumni  it  affords  an  opportunity  to  help 
the  University  by  uniting  their  gifts,  and  making  one  large  sum 
out  of  many  small  donations.  The  graduates  who  contribute  to 
the  Fund  are  not  only  proving  themselves  to  be  generous  and 
enlightened  givers  in  not  prescribing  the  exact  uses  to  which  the 
Fund  is  to  be  put,  but  are  also  setting  an  example  to  other  bene- 
factors to  the  University. 

I  have  quoted  at  such  length  from  this  last  report  of  the 
treasurer  of  the  University  in  order  that  each  one  of  the 
class  may  have  a  clear  and  complete  idea  of  the  relation  of 
the  Alumni  Fund  to  the  University's  needs. 

Since  graduation,  there  has  been  subscribed  to  this  Fund  by 
the  members  of  1904  $3,242.75.  An  effort  was  made  last 
year  to  raise  a  special  Sexennial  Fund,  the  interest  upon 
which  is  to  be  added  each  year  to  the  class  subscription. 
Carl  Adams,  Jim  Brewster,  Ed.  Ely  and  George  Munson 
generously  assisted  in  this  work  with  the  result  that  $1,396 
was  received  from  sixty  men.  Subscriptions  from  1904,  since 
graduation,  compare  favorably  in  amount  with  the  returns 
from  other  classes  during  similar  periods.  The  number  of 
regular  subscribers  is,  however,  considerably  below  the 
average.  The  following  table  shows  the  number  of  sub- 
scribers and  the  amount  subscribed  each  year  since  gradua- 
tion: 

Year  Subscribers  Amount 

1904-1905  91  $    557.00 

1905-1906  83  640.00 

1906-1907  50  562.25 

1907-1908  30  416.00 

1908-1909  68  671.50 

1909-1910  60  1,396.00 


$4,242.75 


310  POT-POURRI 

The  connection  between  $49,000,  which  was  this  year 
appropriated  to  the  income  of  the  University,  and  the  sub- 
scription of  an  individual  may  seem  remote,  but  if  the  total 
subscriptions  are  looked  upon  as  annual  gifts  by  the  Class, 
the  figures  appear  more  substantial.  These  annual  sub- 
scriptions are  essentially  class  gifts,  and  are  so  treated  by 
the  University.  It  has  been  a  source  of  pleasure  and  satis- 
faction that  a  comparison  with  other  classes  has  thus  far 
been  favorable  to  1904.  There  is,  however,  a  certain  element 
of  unfairness  manifested  by  the  small  number  of  subscribers, 
which  should  not  be  overlooked.  The  gift  is  one  for  which 
the  Class  as  a  group  receives  credit.  This  being  so,  it  is 
palpably  unjust  to  allow  a  small  fraction  of  the  Class  to 
bear  the  whole  burden. 


CLASS  GIFT  TO  THE  LIBRARY 

On  May  19,  1903,  J.  F.  Byers  deposited  with  the  bursar  a 
Junior  Promenade  surplus  of  $225,  leaving  the  expenditure 
of  the  money  to  the  discretion  of  Dean  Wright.  Some  years 
later  Dean  Wright  called  into  consultation  Lawrence  Mason, 
then  instructor  in  English  in  the  Academic  Department,  and 
it  was  decided  to  devote  the  gift  to  the  needs  of  the  Library 
with  special  reference  to  the  Freshman  English  and  Fresh- 
man history  courses.  This  decision  was  based  upon  the 
somewhat  vague  terms  of  the  gift — "to  serve  some  useful 
University  purpose" — and  upon  a  wish  to  recognize  the 
number  of  1904  men  then  teaching  in  these  two  branches; 
further,  Henry  B.  Wright,  '98,  always  well  known  and  liked 
by  the  Class,  was  teaching  in  the  history  department  and 
gladly  undertook  the  disbursement  of  half  the  gift  for  the 
acquisition  of  material  useful  in  the  Freshman  history  course. 
Accordingly,  on  May  12,  1908,  a  cheque  for  $225  was  sent 
to  the  University  librarian ;  and  since  that  date  the  following 
purchases  have  been  made,  under  Henry  Wright's  direction :

expended  in  equal  shares  by  the  two  departments,  the  two 
agents,  Henry  Wright  and  L.  Mason,  making  good  the  small 
sum  in  excess  of  $225  which  the  purchases  called  for.  Each 
volume  bears  the  bookplate  of  the  University  Library,  with 
the  following  inscription:  "Gift  of  the  Class  of  1904."  Most 
of  the  books  and  articles  in  the  history  list  above  were  on 
exhibition  in  the  Old  Library  during  Commencement  week, 
1910 ;  and  all  the  purchases,  both  historical  and  English,  may 
be  viewed  at  any  time  in  use  in  the  new  Linonian  and  Brothers 
reading  room,  or  on  the  shelves  of  the  University  Library,  or 
in  the  English  and  history  classrooms  in  Lampson,  Osborn 
and  Phelps  Halls.  The  record  of  the  expenditures  may  be 
inspected  in  the  librarian's  office. 

This  method  of  disposing  of  surplus  class  funds  has  been 
warmly  commended  by  many  officers  of  the  University,  and 
has  been  held  up  in  the  Alumni  Weekly  as  a  model  for  imita- 
tion by  other  classes. 

Respectfully  submitted,

BY  LAWRENCE  MASON 


THE  STAG'S  PROM 
A  FABLE  OF  A  CONVERTED  COLLEGE  CYNIC 

"And  I  find  more  bitter  than  death  the  Woman,  whose 
heart  is  snares  and  nets  and  her  hands  as  bands:  whoso 
pleaseth  God  shall  escape  from  her;  but  the  fool  shall  be 
taken  by  her." — Ecclesiastes  7:  26. 

To  the  unattached  male  known  as  the  "Stag,"  the  Prom 
is  the  vanity  of  vanities  and  the  "fusser"  the  fool  of  fools. 
For  the  latter  is  so  worried  about  tickets,  carriages,  meals, 
teas,  flowers,  wraps,  and  plans  of  all  sorts  that  his  very  efforts 
to  provide  a  good  time  effectually  prevent  him  from  either 
enjoying  himself  or  entertaining  his  Lady,  except  with  the 
help  of  other  men — a  vicarious  kind  of  enjoyment  which  does 
not  strongly  appeal  to  him.  The  poor,  misguided  creature 
sacrifices  his  scholarship  standing,  all  his  extra  cuts,  his 
whole  pleasure  in  the  affair,  and  most  of  his  patrimony;  in 
fact,  he  is  so  reluctant  to  call  upon  parental  shekels  to  the 
extent  of  keeping  pace  with  wealthier  friends  that  he  decides 
to  retrench  in  his  cash  expenditures — by  running  up  bills ! 
It  is  pitiful  to  see  a  strong  man  so  shorn  of  his  strength, 
and  so  infatuated  that  he  enters  into  the  affair  deliberately 
(take  his  watch,  for  instance:  there's  always  a  woman  in  the 
case)  ;  in  the  end  he  must  come  out  of  it  feeling  that  the  game 
is  not  worth  the  scandal  and  that  all  is  indeed  vanity  and 
vexation  of  spirit.  And  in  the  last  place,  the  Lady  her- 
self usually  contributes  to  her  host's  lack  of  enjoyment  by 


DIVERSIONS  OF  A  1904  FACULTY  MEMBER  315 

acidulated  comparisons  between  her  own  dance-card,  flowers, 
Prom-box,  or  Concert-seats  and  those  of  more  fortunate 
charmers ;  or,  at  least,  she  will  cut  his  dances  and  slight  him 
in  general,  since  she  is  sure  of  him,  in  favor  of  new  worlds  to 
conquer.  Then  she  writes  in  her  bread-and-butter  letter, 
"You're  a  heavenly  host !"  Yes ;  but  with  the  heavenly  hosts, 
we  are  told,  there  is  neither  marrying  nor  giving  in  mar- 
riage; and  she  frequently  concludes  with  a  postscript  an- 
nouncing her  engagement  to  someone  else!  The  Stag 
loquitur:  "What  is  woman?  A  word.  What  is  in  that  word 
woman  ?  what  is  that  woman  ?  Hot  air.  A  trim  reckoning ! 
Who  hath  her?  He  that  invited  a  guest.  Doth  he  see  her? 
No.  Doth  he  dance  with  her?  No.  She's  invisible,  then? 
Yea,  to  her  host.  But  will  she  flirt  with  the  Stag?  Yea, 
verily.  Why  so?  Distraction  demands  it.  Therefore  I'll 
none  of  her.  Woman  is  a  mere  figure  of  speech :  and  so  ends 
my  catechism." 

No,  the  free-lance,  the  soldier  of  fortune,  the  Stag,  heart- 
whole  and  fancy-free,  with  nothing  to  lose  and  everything  to 
gain,  is  the  only  role  for  a  wise  man.  He  has  all  of  the  fun 
and  none  of  the  bother  or  expense.  He  will  be  invited  to 
teas  and  dinners ;  he  will  be  summoned  to  sit  in  choice  boxes 
at  the  Concert  and  the  Prom;  from  all  the  belles  he  may 
select  the  few  to  be  favored  with  his  attentions,  and  steal 
dances  wheresoever  he  may  desire;  and,  to  the  impression- 
able fair  sex,  he  will  appear  to  be  the  fascinating  woman- 
hater,  the  gay  young  buck,  the  macaroni,  heart-breaker,  and 
catch  of  the  season :  what  a  rosy  vision !  And  then,  when 
he  chooses,  he  can  be  alone  and  seek  the  relief  of  places  and 
pleasures  "for  men  only,"  without  the  haunting  fear  that  he 
has  allowed  a  moment  to  pass  without  some  entertainment 
planned  for  his  never-satisfied  guest.  He  may  even  find  time 
to  ponder  dispassionately,  instead  of  merely  cursing,  that 
inscrutable  decree  of  the  Powers  That  Be  in  accordance  with 


316  POT-POURRI 

which  the  afternoons  and  evenings  of  three  days  are  officially 
given  up  to  festivities,  while  recitations  are  held  through  the 
day. 

Musing  thus,  the  Stag  approaches  his  dormitory  entry; 
as  he  passes  through  the  hall  and  up  the  first  flight,  a  door 
opens  below  and  he  hears  a  feminine  chorus — "Oh,  what  a 
sweetly  pretty  window  seat!" — "And  that  fireplace! — isn't 
it  just  a  dear?" — "Billy,  did  you  get  that  love  of  a  silver  cup 
for  a  football  prize?"  "No,"  (in  deeper  tones)  "that's  my 
shaving  mug."  ....  "Ah !"  sneers  the  Stag,  "  'the  crackling 
of  thorns  under  a  pot.'  Although  that  may  be  all  right  for 
the  'idyl  rich,'  I  prefer  the  'life  simple,'  poor  but  honest!" 
So  he  goes  up  to  his  room,  deeply  grateful  for  possessing  one 
sanctuary  inviolate,  but  finds  to  his  utter  disgust  that  his 
roommate  is  giving  a  tea  there  (and  incidentally  is  wearing 
the  Stag's  frock  coat).  "The  eternal  feminine,"  mutters  he, 
savagely ;  "N.  B.,  for  'eternal'  read  'infernal' !"  and  he  slams 
the  door  on  a  torrent  of  girlish  giggles  and  gush.  Dis- 
comfited, the  irate  Stag  now  strides  along  to  Mory's,  only 
to  find  it  like  a  convention  of  the  W.  C.  T.  U.  Filled  with 
despair  and  forebodings  of  approaching  madness,  he  finally 
staggers  blindly  to  a  bench  on  the  Green,  where  he  can  relieve 
his  surcharged  feelings  by  swearing  himself  faint.  Some 
hours  later,  still  cursing  feebly,  he  timidly  sneaks  into  his 
room  in  order  to  dress  for  the  Concert  and  German. 
"Oh,  why  did  God  create  this  fair  defect  of  nature?"  he 
murmurs  brokenly;  "but  to-night  I'll  show  'em  how  to  fuss, 
just  to  get  even!" 

Singularly  enough,  however,  at  the  Concert  he  is  not 
invited  to  a  box  and  cannot  break  through  the  serried  ranks 
of  Glee  Club  men,  chaperons,  and  hosts ;  so  he  is  forced  to 
join  the  long  lines  of  those  who  only  stand  and  "rubber" : 

"  Like  outcast  spirits  who  wait 
And  see  through  heaven's  gate 
Angels  within  it."

This  "Waiting-at-the-Church"  business  does  not  commend 
itself  to  him ;  but  he  solaces  himself  with  the  motto,  "Shall  I, 
wasting  in  despair,  die  because  a  woman's  fair?"  and  presses 
on  to  the  German.  Here  he  meets  with  unexpected  reverses : 
his  promised  dances  are  cut,  his  eclecticism  is  hampered  by  a 
very  limited  acquaintance,  he  is  mistaken  for  a  waiter,  gets 
no  supper,  and  leaves  early  in  the  game.  Bitterly  he  resolves 
that  ZmcAr-and-wing  is  the  dance  for  the  Stag,  while  doe-see- 
doe  is  only  for  the  more  matrimonially  inclined.  Sic  transit 
gloria  Monday. 

Tuesday  is  the  same  thing,  only  worse. 

"  O   Solitude,   where   are   the   charms 
That  sages  have  seen  in  thy  face  ?" 

Recitations  flunked  in  the  morning  combine  with  roommate's 
continued  use  of  the  frock  coat  and  silk  hat  (mem.:  never 
room  with  man  who  wears  same  sized  clothes)  to  make  the 
merriment  of  the  day  not  absolutely  hysterical.  Can  it  be 
possible  that  he  is  suffering  from  the  decrees  of  Poetic 
Justice? — that  he  is  at  fault  for  trying  to  get  something  for 
nothing? — that  all  this  disappointment  is  but  a  fitting 
graftermath?  Perish  the  thought!  Grimly  he  girds  him- 
self for  his  last  contest  against  the  slings  and  arrows  of  out- 
rageous fortune,  and  prognathously  proceeds  to  the  Armory. 
Again  his  dances  are  cut;  again,  contravening  all  his 
theories,  the  hosts  look  inanely  happy  with  their  guests. 
Since  even  the  Argus-eyed  chaperons  are  too  busy  (playing 
bridge)  to  talk  to  him,  he  stands  idly  looking  on  until  he 
fancies  that  he  is  taking  root  and  that  everyone  is  noticing 
his  forsaken  estate  and  saying: 

"  A  wretched  thing  forlorn, 
It  stands  erect ;  and  like  a  stone 
With  lichens  is  it  overgrown." 

Then,  with  frenzied  mien,  he  seizes  his  hat  and  coat  and 
frantically  rushes  away  to  the  University  Club,  to  try  to

"  Forget  that  he  remembers, 
And  dream  that  he  forgets." 

....  So  economy  is  not  an  unmixed  blessing,  after  all ;  what 
he  saves  in  one  direction  he  takes  out  in  others ;  but  if  money 

weren't  so  tight,  he  wouldn't  be,  either Perhaps  next 

year,  if  there  are  a  few  dollars  outside  of  the  collections  of 
numismatists,  this  very  Stag  may  purchase  a  ticket  to 
Arcady  himself !

the  days  of  his  vain  life  which  he  spendeth  as  a  shadow?" —

"It  is  good  for  a  man  that  he  bear  the  yoke  in  his  youth"

VACATION  MUSINGS 

Some  they  are  flunked,  and  some  they  are  suspended: 
Most  are  on  vacation;  but  all  are  departed — 
All,  all  are  gone,  the  young,  familiar  faces. 

Pedagogically  speaking,  New  Haven  is  again  playing  the 
role  of  the  "Deserted  Village."  The  sons  of  Eli  are  flown— 
not  "with  insolence  and  wine,"  as  J.  Milton  proleptically 
asserted,  but  with  speed  and  unanimity — by  rail,  automobile, 
trolley,  or  even  "that  swift  steamer,  Richard  Peck"  to  the 
four  corners  of  the  earth:  or,  as  the  poet  hath  it,  "to  Lew 
Field's  and  Pastor's  new." 

But  a  few  brief  hours  since,  and  the  old  college  town  was 
alive  with  noisy  youths  and  noisier  neckwear :  but  now,  where 
are  the  socks  of  yesterday?  Staid  Seniors  are  now  taking 
truant  trips  to  the  tropics  (valetudinously  necessary — as 
reported  to  the  Dean),  or  looking  for  jobs  as  office  boys, 
against  the  fall  of  the  parachute  next  July;  jejune  Juniors 


DIVERSIONS  OF  A  1904  FACULTY  MEMBER  319 

are  brushing  up  their  waltzing  or  making  their  peace  with 
the  ten  or  twelve  whom  they  didn't  ask  to  the  Prom. ;  self- 
satisfied  Sophomores  are  trying  to  show  that  they  are  not 
Freshmen,  and  being  ejected  from  theaters  or  cafes;  and 
frabjous  Freshmen  are  swaggering  about,  exhibiting  their 
near- Yale  symmetricals  and  upholstered  shoulders  to  admir- 
ing feminine  relatives.  So  the  evil  that  men  do  hies  after 
them ;  the  good  is  oft  interred  in  the  Dean's  office. 

And  yet,  perhaps,  after  all,  these  undergraduates  are  not 
quite  so  black  as  they  are  painted;  from  callow  to  callous, 
from  inept  to  inert,  all  varieties  probably  would  be  more 
fairly  judged  from  mid-holiday  perspective  than  from  the 
depths  of  accumulated  blue  examination  books,  as  at  this 
present  writing.  For  what  would  New  Haven  be  without 
them?  Ans. :  a  mere  flag  station,  indicated  on  none  but  the 
largest  maps.  No,  they  are  at  worst  a  necessary  evil. 
What  though  the  Library  be  open  now,  while  the  Gymnasium 
is  closed — like  an  active  brain  with  a  paralyzed  body?  We 
feel  like  saying  to  the  absent  undergraduates,  in  the  words  of 
the  "Personal"  advertisement :  "Come  back,  and  all  will  be 
forgiven."  For,  seriously,  this  frightful  ignorance  of  all 
our  pet  examination  points  is  not  a  personal  reflection  upon 
ourselves  and  our  teaching,  but  simply  a  proof  of  the  fact 
that  what  bulks  to  us  instructors,  in  our  concentration  and 
specialized  enthusiasm,  as  the  summum  bonum  of  this  sublun- 
ary existence,  bulks  to  the  undergraduate  as  but  one  of 
half  a  dozen  more  or  less  interesting  studies  which  all 
together  make  up  but  one  single  side  among  some  half-dozen 
equally  valuable  sides  of  college  life.  This  may  seem  hetero- 
dox, but  it  is  surely  true ;  and  it  is  not  altogether  unreason- 
able, either.  Yet  this  heresy  should  be  barely  sibilated,  in 
minutest  of  type,  lest  it  be  wrenched  from  its  context  and  con- 
strued as  a  justification  for  utter  indolence;  whereas  it  is 
simply  a  discussion  of  comparative  standpoints.  The  Aca- 


320  POT-POURRI 

demic  Department  is  not  a  technical  or  professional  school 
where  a  man  is  trying  to  learn  his  bread-winning  lifework, 
but  an  institution  which  aims  to  give  a  liberal  education  by 
the  influence  of  atmosphere  and  association  as  well  as  by  that 
of  the  classroom;  otherwise  the  correspondence  school  or 
private  tutor  were  as  good  as  the  college  or  university.  So 
let  us  take  the  right  viewpoint  and  square  our  expectations 
with  the  facts.  Let  not  the  instructor  always  expect  to  find 
in  his  students  the  feverish  interest  of  men  who  are  preparing 
to  teach  this  very  subject,  where  he  will  usually  find  only  the 
general  interest  of  men  to  whom  the  mere  acquisition  of 
definite  facts  is  quite  unnecessary  for  the  enjoyable  and  suc- 
cessful conduct  of  life — men  to  whom,  in  other  words,  the 
spirit  is  more  than  the  letter.  And  how  foolish  are  those  of 
us  who  regard  the  undergraduate  simply  as  so  many  subjects 
for  operation,  as  numbered  specimens !  And  how  true  is  the 
converse,  also :  the  folly  of  those  undergraduates  who  regard 
their  instructors  simply  as  so  many  dehumanized  abstract 
forces,  as  bloodless  things  of  cuts  and  marks.  Fortunately 
the  day  of  these  extremes  is  over ;  but  the  day  of  the  golden 
mean  is  not  yet,  and  everyone  should  watch  and  work  for 
any  influence  that  may  make  for  saner  relations  between  the 
two  bodies.  Certain  it  is  that  an  ideal  extra-curriculum 
intercourse  founded  on  mutual  respect  and  appreciation 
would  benefit  the  instructor  in  no  less  a  degree  than  the 
instructee,  and  that  faculty  member  is  wisest  whose  practice 
most  nearly  approximates  this  ideal. 

"  But  they  are  in  their  homes, — and  oh 
The  difference  to  me !" 

Why  talk  "shop"  in  vacation  time?  Let  us  be  free  of 
pupils  for  a  while,  as  New  Haven  is,  and  note  the  change 
which  has  come  o'er  the  spirit  of  our  dream.  There  has  been 
a  great  exodus  of  the  countless  Levites,  Simeonites,  parasites, 
and  other  children  of  Israel  who  prey  upon  the  student  body. 


DIVERSIONS  OF  A  1904  FACULTY  MEMBER  321 

A  single  "ol'  clo's"  man,  crushed  by  a  vast  despondency, 
stands  at  Osborn  Hall  corner  like  the  fossil  relic  of  a  bygone 
age.  "Ah,  what  can  ail  thee,  wretched  wight,  Alone  and 
palely  loitering?"  The  bird  has  vanished  from  the  coop, 
and  no  coins  ring.  Chase's  and  Gowdy's  are  (haber)  dashed 
with  gloom,  while  cobwebs  obscure  the  entrance  to  the  Hype- 
rion. Not  a  cab  is  heard,  not  a  funeral  hack.  Everywhere 
there  is  a  deathly  torpor,  like  a  "blue"  Sunday  in  Phila- 
delphia or  the  tranced  garden  of  the  Sleeping  Princess  in 
the  fairy  tale;  or  possibly  all  things  have  been  turned  to 
stone  by  some  Medusa's  Gorgon-head  (query :  Osborn  Hall?). 
But,  alas,  the  octopus  which  systematically  feeds  on  our 
undergraduate  body  is  merely  scotch'd,  not  kill'd ;  the  vam- 
pire hotels  (or  what  their  owners  occasionally,  in  a  burst  of 
enthusiasm  or  in  an  advertisement,  refer  to  as  "hotels")  are 
preparing  to  exact  their  annual  dole  of  blood  at  Prom  time, 
while  violets  of  solid  gold  (judging  by  the  price)  are  already 
arriving.  There  is  no  more  conclusive  proof  of  American 
democracy  than  this  prevalence  among  tradespeople  of  the 
Order  of  the  Golden  Fleece. 

However,  in  this  wilderness  there  are  two  oases — two 
redeeming  features  in  this  solitude :  the  possibility  of  saunter- 
ing into  Mory's  without  being  regarded  as  an  intruder  or  a 
spy,  and  the  ceaseless  activity  of  the  Graduates  Club.  The 
latter,  indeed,  is  a  perennial  delight,  whether  one  dines  at  the 
"Big  Table,"  where  Gridiron  Club  members  with  vitriolic  wit 
continually  butcher  one  another  to  make  a  Roman  holiday,  or 
whether  one  joins  the  inner  circle  in  the  lounging  room  where 
everything  from  international  policy  to  the  latest  pamphlet 
receives  its  proper  meed  of  damning  or  faint  praise.  Despite 
repeated  first-of-the-month  accounts,  a  good  club  is  rather  to 
be  chosen  than  much  fine  gold. 

Meanwhile,  the  Campus  now  doth,  like  a  garment,  wear 
the  silence  of  the  morning.  Here  is  that  "little  town,  by 


322  POT-POURRI 

river  or  seashore,  all  emptied  of  its  folk,  this  pious  morn." 
Only  the  Chapel  chimes,  a  subdued  feeling  of  futility  distin- 
guishable in  their  tones,  break  the  charmed  stillness.  The 
dormitories  stretch  away,  with  blank  windows  staring  in 
vacant  desolation  or  curtains  drawn  down  in  heavy-lidded 
stupor — "bare  ruin'd  choirs  where  late  the  sweet  birds  sang." 
One  so  misses  the  life  and  stir  of  buoyant  young  manhood 
that  a  kind  of  horror  might  possess  one,  as  in  the  presence  of 
death,  were  it  not  for  the  peacefulness  and  beauty  of  it  and 
the  thronging  memories  that  haunt  each  spot,  wherever  one 
turns.  There  are  Farnam  and  Lawrance,  where  so-and-so 
roomed;  Phelps,  a  Tower  of  Babel  in  recitation  hours,  a 
monument  now ;  Welch,  where  one  lived,  thought,  spake,  and 
understood  as  a  happy,  care-free  child,  once  upon  a  time; 
fine,  new  Old  South;  Osborn, 

"  Where,  in  his  noisy  mansion,  skill'd  to  rule 
The  village  master  taught  his  little  school; 
And  still  we  gazed,  and  still  the  wonder  grew 
That  one  small  head  could  carry  all  he  knew:" 

[wonder  whether  the  younger  generations  will  ever  feel  that 
way  towards  us !]  ;  Vanderbilt,  where  one  formerly  spent 
halcyon  days  with  other  Lotus-eaters  "like  gods  together, 
careless  of  mankind" ;  two  modern  or  pseudo  Libraries ;  one 
real  Library ;  "the  sculptured  dead,"  Wolsey  and  "Hanc 
Statuam" — nor  does  one  fail  "To  think  how  they  may  ache 
in  icy  hoods  and  mail" ;  Dwight ;  Alumni ;  Durf ee,  renewed  in 
youth  and  cleanliness ;  and  so  back  again  at  last,  after  com- 
pleting the  circuit,  to  the  Fence,  symbol  of  the  goodliest 
fellowship  whereof  this  world  holds  record,  of  friendship  that 
shall  master  time,  of  debonair  high-hearted  yoi  de  vivre  with 
the  elect  and  salt  of  this  earth,  of  days  gone  but  never  to  be 
forgotten. 

"  How  happy  he  who  crowns,  in  shades  like  these,

GAME  BY  SPECIAL  WIRE 

SCENE:  Any  club  where  the  members  assemble  to  watch  a 
championship  football  game  played  on  a  blackboard. 

A  decent  respect  for  the  opinions  of  mankind  requires  me 
to  set  forth  the  reason  which  impels  me  to  this  revelation. 
It  is  simply  this :  fearing  that  my  weakened  heart  and  brain 
may  speedily  call  me  to  another  and  better  world,  where  the 
ticker  ceases  ticking  and  from  whose  bourne  there  are  no 
returns,  I  wish  my  experience  to  be  of  service  to  my  fellow 
men,  to  the  possible  saving  of  many  valuable  lives. 

"  O  bid  me  go  into  a  new-made  grave 
And  hide  me  with  a  dead  man  in  his  shroud, 
And  I  will  do  it  without  fear  or  doubt "  :

but  listen  to  returns  over  a  ticker?  Never  again!  And  so 
I  beg  to  offer  this  re-Morse  code  as  a  possible  antidote  for 
the  other  kind. 

In  a  mood  of  inspired  lyric  exaltation,  which  the  nurse  calls 
delirium,  I  had  first  intended  to  give  my  sad  story  to  the 
world  in  dithyrambic  poetic  form ;  but,  upon  the  application 
of  a  little  cracked  ice  to  my  fevered  brow  by  my  physician, 
I  was  soon  persuaded  of  the  futility  of  this  project.  And 
besides,  my  cephalic  district  is  still  tickled  by  the  antic  tricks 
and  electric  ticks  of  this  particular  ticker,  which  trickle 
thickly  through —  Well,  I  merely  meant  to  say  that  the 
poetry  might  be  a  trifle  inarticulate  or  eccentric,  if  the 
hypermetric  distich  ictus — no,  no,  no!  Lunatic- tick- tick — 
that  way  lies  madness !  Here  is  the  history  of  my  encounter 
with  the  infernal  machine,  in  plain  prose : 

First,  let  me  conjure  up  my  shattered  recollections  of  the 
scene  that  witnessed  my  undoing.  In  the  main  hall  of  a 
popular  club  we  sit,  two  or  three  hundred  strong,  and  fill  the 
air  with  blue  smoke  and  eager  j  argon  while  in  a  small  gallery 
across  one  end  of  the  room  the  telegraph  operator  and  the 
announcer  are  bending  over  the  fiendish  instrument,  flanked 
by  a  large  diagram  of  the  field  set  up  vertically  on  edge  so 
that  we  can  follow  the  progress  of  the  ball  and  locate  its 
position  as  each  despatch  arrives.  We  are  all  noisily  ex- 
changing greetings,  jests,  and  bets,  when  suddenly  the 
announcer  waves  a  frantic  signal  for  silence  and  in  the 
instant  hush  we  hear  the  Voice  of  Destiny  begin  its  cryptic 
tactics  or  tick-tacks.  We  stare  at  each  other  with  a  wild  sur- 
mise :  what  will  be  the  first  message  on  this  historic  occasion  ? 
Immediately  the  announcer  reads  off  the  first  news  about  the 
thrilling  opening  of  the  fray :  "Weather  elegant.  A  pretty 
girl  in  blue  suit  and  1914  arm  band  has  just  come  in.  The 
spectators  are  numerous."  We  burst  into  ironical  cheers, 
catcalls,  and  whistles.  Tick-tick-tick!  "The  Princeton 


DIVERSIONS  OF  A  1904  FACULTY  MEMBER  325 

team  runs  on  the  field.  Grandstands  in  an  uproar."  We 
shout  excitedly.  Tick:  tick-tick:  tick.  .  .  .  "Mistake.  Not 
the  Princeton  team.  Only  the  officials.  The  drop-the- 
handkerchief  expert,  three  timekeepers,  three  linesmen,  two 
measurers,  an  umpire,  a  referee,  a  field  judge,  a  grand  jury, 
a  committee  on  interpreting  the  rules,  and  three  catalogue 
specialists  to  look  up  the  rules."  We  subside. 

"Yale  wins  the  toss  and  kicks  off,"  thunders  the  announcer. 
We  lean  forward  expectantly.  No  news.  Long  pause. 
Someone  asks  about  the  penalty  for  a  lost  ball ;  another  sug- 
gests advertising  for  it  or  notifying  the  police ;  a  third  wants 
to  know  whether  the  ball  is  dirigible,  under  the  new  rules. 

Tick-tick :  tick  ....  "Second  down,  six  to  gain Punt  is 

blocked."  "Whose  ball  and  where  is  it?"  we  bellow.  No 
reply:  we  froth  in  impotent  frenzy.  Long  pause.  "Yale 
right  end  intercepts  forward  pass  and  starts  down  field." 
We  shout.  "Shakes  off  tackier  after  tackier."  We  roar. 
"Crosses  goal  line."  We  burst  into  howls  of  triumph. 
"Score:  Princeton  2,  Yale  0."  We  collapse. 

"Princeton  kicks  off  to  Yale's  20-yard  line.  Howe  catches 
and  by  brilliant  run  behind  fine  interference  returns  the  ball 
to  Yale's  15-yard  line."  Several  persons  in  the  audience 
become  violent  at  this  point  and  are  carried  out,  struggling. 
"Princeton  punts  out  of  danger."  We  fan  ourselves,  dazed 
and  speechless.  "On  fake  kick  formation,  Morris  loses 
twenty  yards.  Time  is  called  at  end  of  first  quarter."  We 
heave  sighs  of  relief,  giving  thanks  for  the  respite,  and  hasten 
to  apply  the  restoratives  purveyed  by  white-aproned  attend- 
ants. I  feel  the  new  gray  hairs  tingle  over  my  throbbing 
temples. 

"Teams  line  up  for  opening  of  second  quarter  on  Prince- 
ton's 42-yard  line.  No  substitutions  except  that  Wright- 
ington  goes  in  for  Dashiell  at  dropping-the-handkerchief. 
....  Daly  has  the  ball,  and  Howe  makes  forward  pass. 


326  POT-POURRI 

Seven  officials  blow  their  horns,  like  chorus  in  Gotterdaem- 
merung.  Conference.  Debate.  Time  out."  We  cool  off. 
"Princeton  given  the  ball  on  Yale's  1-yard  line."  We  heat 
up.  "Princeton  gains  six  yards  outside  of  tackle."  Groans ; 
flags  at  half  mast.  "Princeton  makes  it  first  down  on  an  end 
run,  and  gains  seven  yards  through  center  on  next  play."  As 
this  puts  them  sixteen  yards  inside  of  Yale's  goal  line,  the 
man  sitting  next  to  me  pins  his  visiting  card  to  the  lapel  of 
his  coat  and  keels  over  in  a  fit.  But  the  Voice  of  Doom  pro- 
ceeds. "Princeton  gaining  on  every  play.  Princeton 
fumbles,  but  gains  two  more  in  same  place.  Pendleton  drops 
back  to  try  for  field  goal.  Hart  blocks  the  kick  but  is 
tackled  and  thrown  out  of  bounds  by  Ballou.  Daly  gains 
eight  yards  on  fake  run.  Princeton  penalized  two  yards  for 
use  of  wrists.  Field  gains  five  yards  outside  of  umpire.  Ball 
is  now  on  Princeton's  73-yard  line.  Daly  drops  back  for  try 
at  goal  from  placement.  Fails,  ball  going  into  grandstand. 
Princeton  kicks  out  from  25-yard  line,  Howe  carrying  the 
ball  back  on  a  long  run  through  broken  field.  Yale  penalized 
nine  yards  for  on-side  play."  ....  In  the  gallery  the  assist- 
ant, whose  business  it  is  to  indicate  the  position  of  the  ball 
on  the  diagram  of  the  field,  has  long  since  given  up  the 
unequal  contest  and  has  ceased  making  any  attempt  to 
unravel  the  grisly  mystery  of  these  despatches.  The  tele- 
graph boy, 

"  who  now  doth  crazy  go, 
Laughs  long  and  loud;  and  all  the  while 
His  eyes  went  to  and  fro." — 

"Yale  recovers  ball  on  fumble  and  immediately  kicks.  No 
gain.  Field  gets  a  yard  through  end.  Princeton  penalized 
four  yards  for  stepping  on  handkerchief.  Daly  tries  center. 
Princeton  fails  to  make  first  down  by  an  inch.  Morris  punts 
as  time  is  called  at  end  of  third  quarter.  Score,  Harvard  8, 
Dartmouth  3." 

Brainstorms — flaring  lights — .crashing  worlds — darkness.
